Exploring the magical forest

In the old days, when the forest was magical, it whispered its secrets to the first forester at Mas de la Barque. Every day he noted down its revelations and his own observations in the pages of his ledger. But the howling wind that came over the mountain was so jealous of this friendship that it tore out the pages and dispersed them along with the dead leaves at the very heart of the mysterious forest. The forest’s secrets were lost forever.

Follow Barque Page, a mysterious person, as he sets out to explore the secrets of a very old forest.

Near Reception, take a wide track that slowly enters the depths of the forest of Mas de la Barque. Running alongside crooked old beeches, the path then crosses a brook before climbing slightly towards a recently logged forest. Near an area of wetlands, it recovers some of the tranquillity of the old forest, then comes out on a track. You quickly return to the centre via the holiday cottages.
