One of the most beautiful routes among the many that we can
do through the province of Girona, within the Catalan
community, is the one known as the
Ruta dels
7 Gorgs, a route through beautiful mountain landscapes
that will allow us to see the 7 waterfalls with their
respective pools of crystalline and clear waters, all of them
in bucolic settings and lush vegetation.
This route is within the municipality of Campdevànol, a small
town where some 3,300 people live, and which belongs to one
of the most beautiful inland regions of this community,
Ripollés, whose capital, the municipality of Ripoll, is
located less than 4 km. of Campdevanol.
The Ruta dels 7 Gorgs, highly recommended for the
paradisiacal scenarios that it will allow us to contemplate,
is a 10 km circular route. and it does not involve any
difficulty, and is suitable for all people, regardless of
their age or experience in hiking. If we do it in summer, we
can bathe in each of the 7 pools we pass through, resulting
in an extremely rewarding experience as a whole. Although it
is also worth commenting here that during the winter,
although we cannot bathe in the cold waters of the pools, it
is worth the trip since we find ourselves at that time with
an impressive panorama due to the spectacular ice formations
that are formed in the waterfalls.
The pools are also known as a whole with the name "Gorgs del
Torrent de la Cabana", about the stream whose waters form
these wonderful waterfalls, the Torrent de la Cabana which,
after crossing the town of Campdevànol, pours its waters into
the river Fresser. The waterfalls are not particularly large,
all of them fluctuating between 5 and 15 meters, but they are
really attractive and form unforgettable places that have
nothing to envy to other more exotic corresponding to remote
and distant countries and that so much admiration awakens in
us when we see them in documentaries and movies. Once again,
it seems true that we tend to feel more admiration for
distant things and places than for what surrounds us, which
sometimes we do not know how to value in its fair measure.
These are the seven waterfalls that we will find during the
tour.
Gorg of the Cabin
The waterfall forms a small pool, but you have to be very
careful because the descent to the pool involves a bit of
danger. Although the Gorg de la Cabana has clean and very
tempting waters, we can affirm that it is difficult to access
for bathing.
Gorg of Tosca
The Gorg de la Tosca is considered by many to be one of the
most beautiful of the seven. It is an idyllic spot, and one
of the best pools for bathing, also being the one with the
easiest access. Despite this, we must bear in mind that,
being in a place where the sun does not touch, the water is
quite cold, and the body takes a while to acclimatize to its
temperature. Although it is worth it.
Gorg de l'Olla
Forming a setting of great beauty, the Gorg de l'Olla is
ideal for bathing, also offering the possibility of having
fun jumping from the rocks that surround this beautiful
natural pool, although, of course, never committing the
imprudence of jumping headfirst, since we have to take into
account that there are rocks submerged in the water. It
should be noted that the water in this pool has a very low
temperature, which in fact could be described as icy.
Gorg of the Bauma
The waterfall formed here by the waters of the Torrent de la
Cabana creates a magnificent, truly spectacular natural pool
at its feet. However, we have to warn here that those who
bathe in it should do so with the necessary precaution,
especially if they are accompanied by children since there is
a small whirlpool in this pool.
Gorg del Forat
It is a waterfall that forms a small pool, very attractive
and in a beautiful environment surrounded by vegetation, but,
as occurs with the Gorg de la Cabana, access to the pool is
somewhat difficult, which means that bathing is not as easy
as we might wish.
Gorg Petit del Colomer

The Gorg Petit del Colomer is one of the most spectacular
spots on this route, and not precisely because of its
waterfall, which has very little height, but because of the
extensive natural pool that forms at its feet, with extremely
crystalline waters and that seems to be made a beach of calm
waters in the middle of the mountain.
Gorg del Colomer
Of all the pools that make up the Ruta dels 7 Gorgs, this is
the one that always has, and by far, the largest influx of
visitors. Its waterfall is the most impressive, with 13
meters of altitude, and the pool has very clear waters, into
which bathers can launch themselves from the rocks that
surround it. Although surely the main reason is that the Gorg
del Colomer can be reached without going through all the
others, thus saving a trip of almost three hours if your
intention is not to see the pools but simply to bathe in one
of them and spend a nice day.
