Santa Pau: Volcà del Croscat

Circular walk, 13 km

Route: Santa Pau: Volcà del Croscat

You walk from the parking lot to the Volcà del Croscat, the highest and youngest volcano on the Iberian Peninsula. Because the volcano was mined for volcanic gravel, the internal structure is visible. Then you walk further to the Fageda d'en Jorda, where you walk through the forest. You walk along the Església de Sant Miquel de Sacot (XVIII). Finally, you walk back to the starting point over the Volcà de Santa Margarida.
