Chapel of Saint Margaret Info and Reviews

Fantastic experience: An easy and beautiful walk.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Very busy.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: A must-visit place if you go to Garrotxa. From the parking lot (after paying 4€) a path leads out, which ends in a trail until you reach the middle of a crater where there is a hermitage. The route, with no difficulty, lasts about an hour at a leisurely pace.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: When I was at Espai Crater, I learned that the volcanoes of Garrotxa is an area that is not dormant and will be active again in 5000 years… I guess the guy who built a hermitage in the center of the crater must have thought that was a prudent amount of time. Otherwise, it was great, a wonderful setting, a good slope that makes you feel like you've made your daily steps with more effort, and you can pick chestnuts along the way (if it's the season). The hermitage is closed and I guess it opens for just a few, literally, because it fits 3 and the cat. In summary, great hermitage for volcanic posing.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A very recommendable magical place. We were lucky to meet the grandfather who takes care of and cleans the church. He told us that it used to be a tradition to write a wish on your hand, looking towards the door, turn to the right starting with your right foot, and then a second turn to the left starting with your left foot. It was magical.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: Hike with quite a climb from the parking lot (as is obvious, if you are climbing a volcano).
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: It's worth climbing up to see the Santa Margarita Volcano; after a steep ascent, you go down some stairs and reach the crater of the volcano where there is a hermitage.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: A peaceful walk surrounded by nature. Reaching the crater and finding the hermitage is spectacular.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Easy access, very well signposted. Impressive views of the volcano. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: lovely place
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: The crater is very beautiful and the hermitage is very peculiar
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It is located in the crater of the Santa Margarita volcano in the volcanic area of Garrotxa, Girona. At the entrance, there is a paid parking lot with some restrooms. The ascent is a bit steep but easy to do, and the descent into the crater is also easy, but in this case, there are steps. Depending on the pace of each person, it takes between 30 and 45 minutes.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Beautiful place to go alone, with friends, with children .... Relax!!
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: I was eager for a walk in the woods... tired and happy
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Beautiful excursion from Fageda to the Santa Margarida volcano and the Croscat. About 3.30h but easy and quite flat. A must-do excursion to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of La Garrotxa.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Curious
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Interesting place, although we only went to one of the volcanoes, the nice thing is to go to both. The guy in the parking lot was charming, very kind.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It is a small and well-preserved hermitage in a very beautiful setting inside the Santa Margarida volcano. It is not open to the public. There are two accesses to the crater where the hermitage is located, the first one found when climbing from the Santa Margarida parking lot is with dirt and wooden stairs. A little further on, there is another access with a sandy and stony path.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Easy 30 / 60 min walk depending on the route. Paid car park (4€ per car) but ensures space. Absolutely beautiful wander. Little cafe / bar halfway for a beer or a juice. Well worth a stop.

Fantastic experience: Magnificent place
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: Peace is in the air
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Spectacular route that we did in 4.30 h and 12 km and seeing the Hermitage inside the crater was amazing
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Lovely place for trekking

Fantastic experience: Beautiful walk in one of the most beautiful areas of Catalonia, Garrotxa! Unique nature with a well-kept trail that takes you to the center of the volcano where you are surprised to find a church built with local stones and volcanic rock, unfortunately inside it was abandoned and full of trash unlike the park which was very clean. I recommend it to everyone, adults, children, and also to those who are not really trained!
Translated from Italiano

Positive experience: It is impressive to access inside the crater of a volcano and find a hermitage. Very beautiful natural space.
Translated from Catalan

Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Privileged location, beautiful and tiring path but worth it. You're on a volcano!!!!!!
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: A natural place, pleasant to stroll through nature, you have to go, among trees and volcanoes
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful. It's very interesting to go down to the volcano's crater. It takes quite a while to access from Fageda, so wear comfortable clothes and shoes.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Chapel located in the crater of the Santa Margarita volcano. Beautiful route !!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: In the heart of the Garrotxa volcano, you can find a small ancient site, judging by its appearance it must be many years old. In autumn, there is a mix of greenish, orange, and brown colors, a wonderful sight. The humidity of the place creates a fog on the ground that provides a certain charm.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: walking from the parking lot for an hour. it is not a difficult route suitable for children
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: very nice place. The ascent and descent from the parking lot is also suitable for elderly people.
Translated from Deutsch

Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Lovely, charming and very curious
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: It is closed but the trip is worth it for the landscape
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Superb walk in the heart of an ancient volcano
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: Walk without any difficulty, it can be done with children and without any specialized footwear. You can go up from the paid parking (4€) or from the parking near the Can Xel Restaurant (free) but it is a longer route. The hermitage is usually not visible, we assume it only opens on certain days or organized gatherings.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Charming corners
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: What a curious thing, really: it’s quite easy to climb up and down the crater and see it in person. I think if you are in the area, it’s worth seeing.

Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Wonderful
Translated from Catalan

Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Special natural space
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Spectacular to see a hermitage in the center of an ancient volcano, it's worth the climb and descent even if it's from the parking lot, at a leisurely pace it is accessible for people who never hike.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: A lot of people and there is no information about the opening of the hermitage (hours, events...). Otherwise, a very beautiful hermitage made with volcanic stones from the area. Highly recommendable for the excursion and the surroundings.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: 30 minute hike from the car park, the walk is easy but very, very steep. When arriving at the top of the steep path to go down into the crater, the signposted path to the left of the house has steps and the path to the right of the house (no signpost) has a nicer view and no steps (easier for anyone with a pram) and takes you directly into the crater also.

Fantastic experience: Excursion very suitable for doing with children, very beautiful and pleasant natural environment. Highly recommended.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Nice trip with kids
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: Very quiet place, ideal for a short hike.
Translated from Spanish

Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Beautiful place, charming, spectacular landscape, worth it
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: It's a volcano and natural hike, not a museum, but a beautiful one at that.

Fantastic experience: Nature in its pure state.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Un lugar hermoso, una ermita pequeña pero vistosa en el cráter de un volcán. Digno de ver, no se encuentra esto en cualquier lado. Ruta de acceso semi complicada por lo empinada, pero no muy larga. Vale la pena ir, pero con calzado adecuado. Hay quien lo intenta con niños en bici y ahí si que para ellos es muy difícil ya que hay zonas de subida que no es camino, son escalones anchos, sobre todo casi llegando.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: The volcanic landscape can only be imagined. 100,000 years is a long time. In the middle of the crater there is a chapel. It is quite pretty, but it is not really any more outstanding than a thousand other small chapels in the landscape.
Translated from Deutsch

Positive experience: A charming and quiet place.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: With a fantastic landscape and in the center of a volcano, it is a fantastic place to enjoy the whole interesting area to visit.

Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Easy and accessible route to reach the hermitage
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: The hermitage of Santa Margarida is the final reward you see when you have reached the summit of the volcano and then gone down into the crater. In itself, it is not a remarkable construction, but its location makes it exceptional. The view from the bottom of the crater is very impressive, you will rarely enjoy such an interesting experience, the route to get there is beautiful, go with a bottle of water and suitable footwear.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Easy and short path from the Santa Pau parking, but with a significant ascent. It is worth walking around the perimeter of the volcano crater along the ridge. It is a simple 2 km path.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Very interesting!
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Interesting
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: There is nothing interesting in the volcano crater, from the point of view of attractions, a temple with a barred iron door. A large meadow for picnics, and that is all.
Translated from Russian

Positive experience: Very simple path with a beautiful landscape, perfect for enjoying with children for example, due to its ease and short distance from the parking. There are good restaurants nearby if you spend the morning in the area. Recommendable
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Wonderful trail for hiking, in this case the volcano route, I recommend it!!!!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It is a Hermitage located right in the center of an ancient volcano. It is easily accessible and easy to park, there is a public and free parking just a 15-minute walk away. It's worth going on a weekend to stroll alone or with family. The kids really enjoy it. The forest surrounding the entire area is spectacular. Everything is very green and beautiful. The level of difficulty is medium. So plan your visit to this truly spectacular site.

Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Beautiful
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: A place that inspires peace and relaxation.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A beautiful and quiet place. The hike to get there is worth it. If you have knee problems, take it easy, as the path to the crater is tough, depending on where you start the route. From top to bottom of the crater it's quite good (it's well-maintained, with wooden fences, steps, etc.), although it is a bit steep in some places. Either way, if you can, don’t miss it!
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Beautiful and quiet place, near Olot and within the Garrotxa
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Very cool, it is a beautiful place

Translated from French

Fantastic experience: Chapel located in the middle of the crater of the Sta Margalida Volcano. The hike is definitely worth it.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Inside the crater of the Santa Margarida volcano, a must-visit spot. There is no need to wear mountain gear or accessories; it has good access and is accessible for the whole family. It is true that there are some steep climbs, but gradually and at your own pace you should have no problems.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: A magical and essential place to visit, there is a paid parking for most of the year, from there it is very few pieces, about two kilometers to the summit, but the ascent has quite a bit of elevation (we're talking about walking elevation, not high mountain). You can go with children and elderly people, but they should be in at least minimal shape; otherwise, it's better not to.
