Hiking on the Costa Brava and in the hinterland of Catalonia
The northeastern part of
Spain is not only surrounded by fantastic sandy beaches and
numerous sights, but also with a breathtaking natural landscape
that can be experienced by hikers and mountain bikers.
On the Costa Brava and the other bays of Catalonia, visitors
can expect a relatively flat landscape, which is, however,
interrupted by inconsistent mountains and elevations.
The Catalan coasts of the coast are characterized by
extensive meadows, old pine forests, steep cliffs and hidden bays,
where the activists can rest and refresh themselves.
The more hikers then penetrate the Landesinnere, the more
extensive the majestic mountain ranges, until they reach with the
Pyrenees over 3,000 meters.
They expect a variety of
landscape impressions, which they sometimes reach on easy,
sometimes difficult hiking routes.
Along the coastal region of Costa Brava, for example, the GR-92
long-distance trail runs.
It starts in Portbou near the French border in the north of
Catalonia and runs mostly along the coast to Ulldecona not far from
the border with the neighboring autonomous region of
Valencia.
From here, the mediterráneo, also known as Sendero Mediterráneo,
continues to Andalusia.
However, the three sections on the Costa Brava are one of the most
beautiful in the entire route.
The starting and ending points of the individual stages are Port de
Llançà - Estanys de Vilaút, Romanyà de la Selva / Cap Roig - La
Casanova and Lloret de Mar - Pla de Gelpí.
In
addition to the beauties of nature, hikers along the route will
also find some cultural treasures such as the Monastery of Sant
Pere de Rodes, the ruins of the Roman Castelló d'Empúries, the
traditional wine-growing region Baix Penedès, the Benedictine
monastery of Sant Feliu de Guíxols, an Iberian village
The Romanesque wall, the Roman aqueduct of Tarragona, the medieval
town of Pals and the mill Molino del Olivar.
An unforgettable view of Barcelona awaits you on the Puig
Castellar.
The GR-92 trail leads mostly along old coastal paths,
the so-called Cami de Ronda, is very well signposted and has a
height profile with several arrivals and descents as well as some
difficult sections of the route, which require a very good level of
safety and condition.
For more detailed information on
the GR-92 hiking trail, visit the official website of the Catalan
Association for Mountaineering and Alpinism
www.feec.cat.
The Küstenwanderweg is one of the most popular hiking areas
in the region.
Thanks to its many mountain landscapes,
Catalonia's hinterland has many other exciting destinations for
nature lovers, many of which are under strict environmental
protection, including the Cap de Creus, the Montgrí massif, the
Parc Natural del Montseny, the Massif Cadiartes and the
ecologically important
Wetlands Els Aiguamolls de
L'Empordà.
