Discover Sant Sadurní D'osormort

If you are looking for a hotel, this overview can help you decide in advance which themes you would like to focus on during your trip.

Woodland and the Riera Major

Most of the municipality of Sant Sadurní D'osormort is covered by woodland. The Riera Major runs through the municipalities of Sant Sadurní D'osormort and Vilanova de Sau from south to north. A total of 1,071.95 hectares of Sant Sadurní D'osormort lie within the Guilleries-Savassona protected natural area. These details describe different aspects of the landscape: its extensive woodland, a watercourse running through two municipalities and its inclusion in a protected area. If you are interested in the surroundings, the woodland, the Riera and the natural area each offer a different perspective on the municipality.

Churches, bridge and historic traces

Sant Ponç de la Verneda has been documented since 1050; the present-day building was constructed in the 17th century. These dates refer to different historical periods: the church's earliest documented mention and the construction of the building that stands today. The apse features murals by an artist known as the Master of Osormort. The church thus brings together architectural history and a significant collection of murals.

The Pont de la Cantina adds another perspective as a medieval Romanesque bridge. The Masia Masferrer also dates from the 17th century. On Puig Castellar, there are ceramic remains from an ancient Iberian settlement. These historic sites can therefore be viewed in terms of their different periods, from traces of the ancient settlement to the church documented since 1050, the medieval bridge and buildings from the 17th century. If you add several sites to your itinerary, this timeline provides a useful link between the different themes.

Walking routes and directions

One walking route starts at the church of Sant Sadurní D'osormort. Its course was changed in 2012 because of high water levels in the Riera Major. Another walking route leads from Sant Sadurní D'osormort via Pont de Bojons, Molí de Bojons, the Riera Major, L'Espluga, La Verneda de Sant Feliu and Sant Feliu de Planeses. The two route descriptions differ in focus: one names the church as its starting point, while the other lists a series of named stops. This gives you a concrete basis for comparing options when planning your walks. Conditions and route availability may change, so check the current situation before setting out.
