Description
Leave the village of Guàrdia de Noguera on a wide path, crossing the road to continue slightly upwards along the trail. Soon after that the trail gets damp and surrounded by thick vegetation and ivy. You will leave behind the fields to go into the ravine. Cross it and go in zigzag up a slope with less trees. You will get to a track, follow it until you get to a green mark. After that you will find the road that goes up to the Mur castle. Follow the trail that passes by the village of Collmorter and the rural lodge “Cal Soldat”. You will be again at the road, follow it until you see a turn-off to the left and take this path. After 20 m take the trail that goes up to the right. Following this trail you will cross the road, and then continue until you find the road that goes up to the Mur Castle.
To continue the route you need to walk back to Collmorter, and instead of crossing the village continue on the road until a few minutes later you will find a sign on the left indicating the Guàrdia castle.
