Ribera Salada and Pont del Clop
The ribera Salada (banks of the “salty river”) is 40 km long and passes through the municipal territories of
Odèn, Lladurs and Castellar de la Ribera. The saltiest parts of the river are found in its lower course, just before it joins the River Segre.
To visit this location, it is necessary to take the Solsona road and head towards Bassella (C-26). After about 3 km,
visitors should turn off to the right and follow the road to Cambrils and then continue on for a further 12 km to Pont
del Clop. At this point, the river basin adopts a rather curved form, which explains why this section is referred to
as the Canal Serpent (snake channel). When the weather is good, this is an excellent place to swim in
the river’s crystal-clear waters. |
