    The Foran del Mus geological trail has been designed to offer visitors to the Park the chance to fully appreciate one of the most peculiar and evocative aspects of the protected area: the extraordinary geological phenomena of the highest part of the Canin Massif. These zones, cherished by mountaineers and speleologists, embody the charm of stone carved by water, which shapes the surfaces and then descends into the deepest recesses of the mountain, into the dwellings of the spirits and fantastical beings that populate the legends of these territories. They are extraordinarily accompanied by the flowers and animals that a keen eye can find in this immense rock garden.

    The views are evocative, majestic, and unusual. The trail allows for some variations based on your interests, time availability, and physical preparation.
