Hikers and cyclists on the Carrilet Olot - Girona Greenway

Hikers and cyclists sharing a greenway in the area around Olot.

The Carrilet Olot– Girona Greenway Nature Trail runs along the former route of the Girona-Olot railway, 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.
