6 SENSES. Path around Montseny

A hiking route that allows you to not only enjoy but engage with its landscapes, unique people and impressive region

During the route you will be able to smell the vegetation, discover local products, hear the fauna of the park and listen to the explanations of the people who will take you to unexpected places; you will be offered different gastronomic proposals and be able to experience the flora and handmade products personally while at the same time improving and protecting the region and its economy so that people can continue to live and work in a more sustainable manner.


PRACTICAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ROUTE

It is a circular route, therefore, although the departure point is marked at El Brull, it can start at any point on the overnight stay.
