Forest in Barcelona Orrius Forest, in Barcelona. By luzimag There is nothing like not knowing the origin of things so that the most surreal, fun, mysterious, esoteric and morbidly attractive stories and legends are born. That is what happens in the Orrius Forest , a typically Mediterranean natural space in the province of Barcelona where there are enormous rocks that take on the perfectly sculpted shapes of an Indian, a moai and an elephant. Because? Nobody really knows, so ignorance has given rise to countless legends. Let everyone choose the one they like the most. And if you are a person skeptical of myths and legends, what does it matter? You can always enjoy the natural beauty of the environment and appreciate the work that has gone behind each work of art sculpted in the stone. We are going for a walk through a place as magical as it is peculiar, on a tour also suitable for families .
The Orrius Forest, step by step The enchanted forest of Orrius in Barcelona Orrius Forest, in Barcelona. By luzimag To get to this curious “enchanted forest” we have to go towards Roca del Vallés, from where Cell Phone Number List we will take the BV-5106 regional road. Before reaching the sign that marks kilometer two towards the small town of Orrius, in the Maresme region, we will see an area on the shoulder that widens and where we can leave the car. There we will see a path through the undergrowth that will take us in a few meters to the forest of sculpted stones. First, we will come across a large rock on which you can see a stone elephant with its eyes painted green; Given its large dimensions, we will see it easily. With care, we can climb on top of its head and have a panoramic view of the surroundings. Later, we will reach a point where we can see the face of an Indian looking towards the sky.
In the same place, we can see an impressive sculpted moai – the Neolithic statues of Easter Island –, also with green eyes, very well made and the size of a person. We have another option to see the Orrius Forest and walk a little more doing a slightly longer, but equally simple route of about 11 kilometers. In this case, we will park in the town and walk to the highest part, where we will find the GR-92 markings. We will continue towards the hermitage of San Bartolomé de Cabañas, in Romanesque style, and we will continue along the indications of the prehistoric route until we enter a forest of white pines and oaks. First we will see the Dolmen de Céllecs or the Cabana del Moro; later, the large granite block Plato de Molino or Plato del Rey. Later we will enter the wildest part of the forest, reaching the San Bartolomé torrent and, after a small climb, we will see the elephant sculpted in the stone.
