Carrilet Olot– Girona Greenway Nature Trail

Group of cyclists on the route of the Carrilet Olot– Girona Greenway Nature Trail. A sign at Les Presses city hall, on which we can read ‘Bicicarril Olot - Girona’ (Olot - Girona cycle lane) indicates who can cycle on this road.

The Girona-Olot railway was the main communication artery of the Garrotxa, Selva and Gironès regions until the 1960s. A modest narrow-gauge railway (‘carrilet’ in Catalan) 54 km long, it plied the banks of the rivers Ter, Bruguent and Fluvià under the eerie shadow of the dormant volcanoes of La Garrotxa. Now disappeared, its endearing and ancient furrow has many pleasant surprises in store for the traveller.
