Supplier of drinking water of the old town of Sarria in the late nineteenth century, the Vallvidrera remained unemployed for many years until the Board Collserola recovered. Today opened to everyone as a place for recreation and as a natural space for families and walkers.

An engineer and a natural

The Vallvidrera was designed in 1865 as a project engineer Elijah hydraulic Rogent designed to bring drinking water to the old town of Sarria. Currently this function has lost water supply and has become a leisure place to enjoy nature and relax with friends or family, deep into the flora and fauna of the area.

Ways of Nature

One of the best ways to get to the dam is from the Plaza de la Mina Grotto and the path of the reservoir. Mine Grotto is almost a kilometer tunnel that was constructed to connect the reservoir to Sarria when used as a water supplier, but later, when it was in use, it became a way by which the locals raised to enjoy nature Collserola. Now the cave is closed, but you can follow a parallel path through the trees to reach the so-called pink house, which was formerly the home of the swamp vigilant and has been restored by the Board of Collserola.

Walking through this natural place so close to the city and met residents of the reservoir, such as frog, the tree frog or toad can be quite an experience for young and old.
