<p>Fageda al Parc Natural del Montseny</p>

Si busques un lloc amb paisatges bonics de muntanya a prop de Barcelona, el Parc Natural del Montseny et sorprendrà. Declarat Reserva de la Biosfera per la UNESCO, aquest massís ha estat l'escola d'excursionisme de bona part dels catalans, l'espai on molts aficionats al senderisme s'han penjat la motxilla a l'esquena per primera vegada. T'expliquem tres propostes per descobrir-ho.

<p>El Montseny: Turó de l'home i les Agudes</p>

Arribar a dalt de tot d'una muntanya, fer un cim, sempre comporta una sensació de culminació, de creuar la meta, d'objectiu acomplert. Si a més a més aquest cim és el més alt d'un territori, o un dels més estimats, o un dels que el seu nom s'associa a llegendes o a moments històrics, aleshores aquestes sensacions encara s'incrementen. En les següents línies recollim els que considerem els cims més mítics de les comarques de Barcelona, tots recomanables per conèixer i provar d'arribar al capdamunt!

<p>Castell de Boixadors</p>

Des d'un lloc elevat, contemplant grans extensions, hom té una doble i singular sensació: per un costat, el sentir-te important d'abastar tant espai amb la mirada; per l'altre, notar la petitesa de l'ésser humà en la immensitat de la natura. En tot cas, és un goig per als sentits albirar els infinits colors, les planes i les muntanyes que fan vida al territori. T'indiquem sis llocs privilegiats per gaudir de panoràmiques.
