The Llobregat Fountains are the source of the Llobregat River, one of the most important rivers in Catalonia. The importance of fountains is due to the fact that they are a spectacle of nature.

Although it is a very easy route, if you are planning to take a family trip to Bergued\u00e0 we recommend that you wear suitable footwear. It is important to have comfortable shoes with good soles, if possible hiking or trekking shoes<\/strong>. This is because the path can be wet or slippery, so it is important to have a good grip to avoid the occasional scare. <\/p>

The best time to enjoy an excursion with children in Catalonia<\/strong> to the Fountains of the Llobregat is in spring. Although the landscape is spectacular all year round, it is in spring after the rains when the flow of water is more abundant and, therefore, discovering the source of the Llobregat is more impressive. <\/p>

Don’t forget to bring<\/strong> some water for the road<\/strong> and if you go with children also a snack. These easy hikes in Catalonia are usually more traveled. If you plan to carry out this route in high season, for example, on weekends or in summer, try to arrive in advance, before 10 am so that you do not have problems finding parking. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
