- Description
-
The El Cinquè Llac route is a circular hiking trail in the Pyrenees. It is a "medium altitude" route, suitable for all types of hikers, with 5 signposted stages through the Pallars, the Alta Ribagorça and along the foothills of the Aigüestortes i Sant Maurici National Park.
For more than 100 km, the hiker overcomes a changing orography offered by nature while discovering the most unknown and impressive part of the Pyrenees, including: the Corts plain, the Fosca valley and the Manyanet valley, and the Montcortès lake, the Fifth Lake. From various peaks along the route, you can see it in the distance, as if it were a drop of water, until it appears in all its splendor during the last stage.

The majority of the route runs along mountain paths and trails, some of which have been prepared for the route, while others are already signposted by the district. Each stage includes sections on both dirt tracks and roads. During the hike, you will notice time and again that this region has been inhabited since prehistoric times and still is today. The hiking trail presents us with dolmens, chapels, churches, fortified villages, monasteries, bridges and Romanesque ruins, barns, country houses and shepherds' huts. The latter are examples of dry-stone architecture, a rich treasure of our history, as are the ancient shepherds' paths.
The Cinquè Llac route allows the hiker to move through a rural natural space that is largely unknown but accessible to man. Its villages have retained their original character and preserve their festivals, customs, legends and traditions. The legends accompany us on our way and give each stage its name. It is precisely these legends that give our journey through the mountains its magic, with the aim of discovering the Fifth Lake (El Cinquè Llac).
The route is divided into five stages:
Stage 1: The Sleeping Giantess
Stage 2: The Witches' Sabbath of Serraspina
Stage 3: The Devil's Bridge
Stage 4: The enchanted house
Stage 5: Lake Montcortès
