Largely open, friendly. Rappel canyon with fun potential

Access: machine translated ➜

From Figueres on the Perpgnan - Barcelona highway, we take the N 260 in a westerly direction and after around 22.5 km we pass the interesting town of Besalu and continue on the A-26 for another 10.5 km. Then - exit no. "75", "Montagut" - we turn right onto the GIV-5233. After 2 km we drive through the village of Montagut and turn left at the end of the village onto the GIV-5231 in the direction of Sadernes. 2 km further on we pass the entrance to the comfortable Montagut campsite and after another 3.8 km we come to the hamlet of Sadernes (also with camping facilities). It is no longer permitted to continue from here. So we walk (also possible by bike) on a dirt road that first heads west and then north uphill along the small river. 2.7 km after Sadernes we come to a junction.

Approach (2 h 30): machine translated ➜

We first walk a few steps back to the fork and then take the forest path that leads down to the streambed of the Riera de Sant Aniol. We follow the path, cross the stream and after 1.6 km from the car we reach a large meadow. Here the path bends to the left away from the stream. However, we continue to follow the stream and after about 160 m we come to a small barrage. Here, either on its crest or slightly below on the opposite bank. Continue north along a path in the valley. As the path continues, we cross the stream three times and finally reach the former monastery of St. Aniol d'Aguja. Continue in a north-easterly direction, first crossing the Riera de Sant Aniol again, then up the slope on the other side on a clear path. On a hilltop - Coll de Clarioles, approx. 555m above sea level - the path branches off. To the left would be the entry to St. Aniol, but we go to the right, ignoring a path to the left later on and arriving at the Font de Sant spring. Continue along the path until it leads to the right into the streambed of the canal (entry).

Tour (2 h 30): machine translated ➜

Varied and enjoyable descent until a signs indicates the exit from the canyon - "Cami de Sortida". If there is still water flow here, we recommend a further descent to the karst spring, where the stream flattens.

Return (1 h 20): machine translated ➜

Following the trail downhill we come to our approach path, which we then follow back to the car.
