Location
La Fageda de la Grevolosa, known in Spanish as the Hayedo de la Grevolosa, is located in the Serra dels Llancers, which is a kind of natural border between the Transversal mountain range and the Prepirineu. It is part of the PEIN of Milany-Bellmunt-Puigsacalm due to its beauty and the biological interest of this place. It currently belongs to the Generalitat of Catalonia, in addition to belonging to the Natura 2000 Network.
Surprising beech
As you can discover yourself in the images that we offer you in the gallery, this forest surprises with its beech forests, some of which are more than 300 years old. In fact, some of them are really monumental, being able to reach more than a meter in diameter and 40 meters in height. That yes, the most surprising of all of them is one that measures 42 meters, has a trunk of about 6 meters in perimeter at its base and has a glass 20 meters in diameter.
Great natural diversity
In addition to its trees, the Fageda de la Grevolosa attracts attention for its great natural diversity, being able to find numerous species both in terms of flora and fauna. However, in recent times the Generalitat it has had to carry out some conservation tasks due to soil erosion. Thus, what the Catalan Government wants is for more trees to grow so that the forest in general can regenerate.
The route
Fortunately, since this has allowed it to remain in its current state, the only way to get to the forest is by taking a 2-kilometer walk. The good thing is that this path is quite simple and can even be done with children, although if they are not very used to this type of route, they may end up getting tired along the route. In addition, it is important to keep in mind that in some sections of the road the children must go hand in hand due to the unevenness. Therefore, the level of difficulty of the route is low, although it is true that you have to walk 4 kilometers, 2 for going and 2 for returning.
