Cercs

Cercs straddles the Llobregat valley in Catalonia’s Berguedà comarca, and this mountain corridor has long concentrated settlement, transport and industry beside the river. The Baells reservoir, impounded by a dam on the Llobregat, broadens the valley south of the town, with wooded Pre-Pyrenean slopes rising around it. Cercs is closely linked to coal mining: the Sant Corneli mining colony retains workers’ housing and is home to the Museu de les Mines de Cercs, where a former mine gallery can be explored by rail. Its separate hamlets reflect the steep, folded terrain of inland Catalonia. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Berguedà connects regionally.
