The Carrilet I greenway crosses through magnificent scenery of great ecological and cultural value. It begins in the Garrotxa Volcanic Area, and following the old narrow-gauge railway line, reaches the Ter valley and the pasturelands of Salt and Girona. The old rail line that connected the Garrotxa and Gironès regions now allows visitors to discover the natural resources of the Garrotxa Volcanic Area, the Hostoles castle, and the towns of Anglès, Sant Feliu de Pallerols and Girona, among others. The last section of the trail runs along the Ter River as it crosses the pasturelands of Salt and Girona. Here is where hikers and cyclists alike can see how the river´s resources have been harnessed and put to good use. Once in Girona, join the next stretch of the Carrilet II greenway towards Sant Feliu de Guíxols. You can also opt to cycle the Tren Pinxo route, which currently links Girona and Serinyà.
