Day 523 - 17/02/2015 : Turó de l'Home in the early autumn

Visiting Montseny a must is take a look to the magnificent Turo de L'Homé. Even the autumn colors weren't relevant at all some shades were appearing.

With its elevation of elevation 1,712 m (5,617 ft) above sea level, it is the highest peak of the Montseny Massif.

The top of the mountain is a triangulation station which can be seen on the left peak. Only due the perspective the right peak seems higher. On the right peak some telecommunication infrastructures are installed).

A paved road leads almost up to peak. The state of the pavement is partly very poor (as of January 2015). While some parts are renovated, others contain large potholes and are covered by loose gravel. The last 1,500 metres of the road are closed for motorized traffic but open for cyclists and hikers.

The final ascent to the triangulation station, some 50 metres above the endpoint of the road, is a step trail.

Here is one of the Catalonia's mythical mountain !
