Description of the walk

Take a track to reach Llanos del Hospital for about 4 km as far as La Besurta. Continue to the junction of the routes. Follow the signs for the Renclusa refuge, then climb to the pass of the same name. Descend to the Aiguallut Waterfall via a lovely plateau criss-crossed by streams. Then head towards Forau d’Aiguallut and return to the junction to make your way back to the car park. If you choose to return via the road, that’s lovely too!

The route is marked in light green and dark green (circular route S14 of the nature reserve) or red and white GR®11, depending on the section.
