Upon learning that there wasn't any trail that accompanied the river between La Poble and Berga, and following an unpleasant experience blazing my own trail the day before, I chose to follow a marked trail that would take me across the Collaras mountains and diagonally southwest to catch up with the Llobregat near the Baells reservoir near la Nou de Bergueda. Local hikers estimated a 6-7 hour trek, although no one I spoke with had ever done it before. The trail took me up and down two valleys, into the heartland of the Catalan Pyrenees. The trail was well marked and well kept through a forests that appeared to be in equally good shape. Flowers and vegetation were everywhere. After a morning gaining altitude, I caught a glimpse of the Pedraforca mountain, and the Cadi-Moixaro range. Later in the afternoon when I found a small pension at la Nou I was told that one of the few homes that I passed was owned by two brothers who had refused to connect to the electrical grid.
