Talús del Croscat Info and Reviews

Positive experience: mostly accessible for strollers and a very pleasant walk
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Nice excursion for nature and to see one of the largest volcanoes in Garrotxa. Additionally, being an old quarry, the volcano is 'open' and offers different views. During the week there is practically no one.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Impressive how well this volcano is preserved, which began to be used as a gravel pit; you can appreciate the entire cross-section of the chimney, it is nice to see.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Very nice place to visit on foot or by the tourist train.
Translated from Catalan

Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Impressive. A very special feeling... as if you were interacting with nature and with thousands of years. Very informative all the information.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Simply stunning. It is very enjoyable to walk with such tranquility. Stunning views of the volcano with its natural terraces. A must visit, from the parking lot to the volcano, about 20/25 minutes on well-marked paths. It is worth stopping by the information booth at the entrance, where you can learn many details, such as that it is a very young volcano: it is only 11,000 years old.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Walk that feels short, but it's worth it.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: One of the ancient volcanoes, and it stands out because there was a quarry back in the day, which left a cut in the ground that now allows you to see the layers of the mountain
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: The Garrotxa and its volcanic area is wonderful. As a negative point, the windstorm prevented us from visiting the rest of the natural surroundings since it was prohibited and penalized, yet the entire parking was still chargeable...
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Easy and short route to do with children
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A rebellious rainy Sunday has its charm and there is nobody. A marvel.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: Beautiful walk of about half an hour on level ground to the old abandoned lapilli quarry, but still an excellent place to see in three dimensions the internal structure of this monogenetic volcano. Very interesting. It's a pity that the ascent to the summit is now prohibited because of landslides. Worth going.

Positive experience: A quiet and silent walk through a beautiful area. Along the way, which is quite flat and easy, you find some information related to the volcanoes and, if you go in the morning hours, I think from 10 to 16, you will find the information office open. The walk can be completed even if it is closed and the area is very beautiful.

Parking lots are not very large, in summer they charge until 6 or 7 in the afternoon, I don't know the price. Some restrooms and an information booth. Routes also available with a train and/or horse-drawn carriage.

Positive experience: This is one of the inactive volcanoes in the volcanic area of Garrota. It is a volcano where there was mining activity, so the layers of the volcano can be seen from the inside. The path from the parking lot is easy, it can be done with small children as it is quite flat except for one ramp-stairs.

Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: It is the best way to understand the eruption of volcanoes
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: Because they take you on an impressive 15-minute detour when there is a straight path, all because you pass in front of the beach bar instead of placing it at the crossroads.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Geologically impressive place, especially when we benefited from the very detailed explanations from the guide about this volcano and the various exploitations that have been made; it's a pity that, while visiting in the afternoon, the backlighting sun prevents taking photos as successful as desired! Definitely worth the trip, along with the neighboring volcanoes in this region of Olot!
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: Croscat is the youngest volcano in the volcanic area of Garrotxa. It had two eruptions, the first and largest 17,000 years ago, and the second 11,500 years ago. The emission of fluid lavas and a series of moderately violent explosions resulted in a horseshoe-shaped crater approximately 160 m high and a maximum of 600 m long by 350 m wide. At the highest point of the crater are the remains of an ancient defense tower, which is now a communications tower. The lava flow and the crater cover an area of about 20 km2. On the lava flow sits the hayedo de Jordá or Fageda d'en Jordà, its name in Catalan. For 25 years, it was dedicated to the exploitation of clays for the production of bricks and tennis courts. The extractions from Croscat were the main cause of the popular mobilizations that led the Parliament of Catalonia, in 1982, to approve the creation of the Natural Park of the Volcanic Zone of Garrotxa.
