Exploring natural areas and discovering their biodiversity is an enriching and healthy experience, as we have already highlighted in other articles related to physical well-being and emotional well-being. However, it also entails a collective commitment: we must take care of the environment and avoid causing negative impacts. Along the Tourdera, we are fortunate to enjoy … Read more

‘Forest bathing’: silence, health and well-being

29 June 202618 May 2026 by mcorominas

Nature walks, such as those that can be enjoyed along the sections of the Tourdera, provide us with many benefits for our health and well-being. To fully enjoy them, there is nothing better than doing so in silence, as this allows us to connect deeply with the natural environment. For this reason, we have prepared this article, with the aim of raising awareness about the importance of experiencing nature in silence and perceiving it in all its splendour. We therefore invite you to try a “forest bath”, an increasingly popular practice that encourages connection with nature and contributes to both physical and mental well-being.

Why is it important to have your dog connected to nature?

Going out to enjoy the mountains with our pets, whether walking a section of the Tourdera route or exploring the Parc Natural del Montseny, is becoming an increasingly popular activity. However, this increase in visitors also brings responsibility: keeping your dog on a lead is essential to ensure coexistence and protect the natural environment. In response to the growing number of dogs off lead in protected areas, the authorities have launched awareness campaigns to prevent conflicts with wildlife and livestock activities.

Waste in the natural environment

30 June 202612 November 2025 by mcorominas

Autumn is one of the times when we take the most getaways into nature, especially on weekends, to admire the changing of the season, its colors, fruits, etc., as we explained in this other article. However, with the influx of visitors to the natural environment, there also comes a greater volume of waste that unfortunately ends up, too often, in forests, streams, and roadsides. Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that this November we celebrate the European Week for Waste Reduction, we have prepared this article for you! Photo: Valeri Mark.

On September 22nd, we will officially welcome the astronomical autumn, which will accompany us until December 21st, when the winter solstice arrives. This season marks the beginning of a period of changes in the landscape: yellow, red, and earthy tones take over the deciduous forests and transform nature into a unique visual spectacle.

Towards Montseny with sustainable mobility

Moving and exploring new corners is an almost innate need for people. What we did mostly by walking a few decades ago, today, and increasingly, is done with private vehicles. To reflect on how we can travel more responsibly, we propose looking towards Montseny and seeing how it is possible to visit it with more … Read more

Surely you have often heard about “sustainable tourism”, that is, tourism that takes into account the repercussions, both current and future, that it causes at an economic, social, and environmental level. On the Tourdera route, we are lucky to have a Biosphere Reserve, the Montseny Natural Park, and today we wanted to give you some tips so that, when you visit it while doing the route, you can enjoy it in a more sustainable way!

The mountains offer us a space of freedom, peace, and connection with nature, and hiking is one of the best ways to enjoy it. The Tourdera Route, which follows the courses of the Tordera River and the Arbúcies stream, allows us to discover a privileged environment that combines fluvial landscapes, Mediterranean forests, and cultural heritage. But to enjoy it safely and respectfully, you must plan your outing well. Here are some basic tips before you lace up your boots:

Swim or preserve? In Montseny, choose nature.

When summer arrives and the heat intensifies, it is normal to look for water spots to cool off and have a good time. The rivers, streams, and pools of the Montseny Natural Park may seem, at first glance, ideal places for a dip. But you should know that these spaces are not just beautiful landscapes: they are fragile ecosystems that must be protected.
