DOWNLOAD THE ROUTE

It is a charming place, enclosed by leafy riverbank vegetation that offers a cool, shady spot during the summer months. Until a few decades ago, the lock was one of the favourite recreation places of the people of Cassà, who went there to cool off and bathe in its waters. 

The route, very easy and quite short, will take you through the cork forests on the slopes of the Gavarres, before crossing the Verneda creek to the lock. Heading back, you can also take a section of the old road which once linked Cassà to Sant Feliu de Guíxols by way of the Verneda district. 

Ideal for family activities in the warmer months. Before reaching town, you pass by the municipal swimming pool, where you can take a well-deserved swim.
