From 1900, Les Planes d'Hostoles was linked to Girona by the narrow gauge Olot–Girona railway, which was extended to Sant Feliu de Pallerols in 1902 and Olot in 1911. The line closed in 1969 and has since been converted into a greenway.[4][5]
In this Área there are lots of waterfalls.[6] To visit them you need to book a ticket on the protected Space of the river Brugent.
