A pleasant and highly recommended route on the banks of the river Ter that begins at the Despujol, a beautiful manor house that is currently the headquarters of the Town Hall of Les Masies de Voltregà.

Leaving the estate, which has privileged gardens, you have to walk along fields that make up the typical Osona landscape, passing over the canal that leads to the Gallifa spinning mills, an old industrial settlement of the s. XIX, until reaching the river Ter. One of the few river islands in the Ter in its middle-high course, the island of Gallifa, can be seen. It is wonderful to follow the river for a few kilometers, enjoying its riparian forest and its fauna. As you move away from the river, you can see the Gallifa farmhouse and the Font del Peretó, where it is worth stopping to pay attention to its fountain vegetation. You will have to climb to the hermitage of Our Lady of Fatima to get great views of the village and the mountains that surround the Osona plain. Finally, before returning to the Despujol, it is essential to stop at the viewpoint of one of the most important colonies of burning birds in Europe.
