Description

The route departs from the banks of the river Onyar and ends at the farmlands of Campdorà. On its way, it goes through a representative range of natural landscapes and environments, taking in several heritage and ethnographical features related to the traditional uses of these spaces.

The Anella Verda route can be completed from south to north or vice versa. Shorter options include starting from Girona’s Old Quarter and heading either northwards or southwards.

This is not a circular route. Public transport is available at both ends, with buses running regularly from the centre of Girona to both the departure point and the finishing point.
