From 1902, Sant Feliu de Pallerols was linked to Girona by the narrow gauge Olot–Girona railway, which was extended to Olot in 1911. The line closed in 1969 and has since been converted into a greenway.[4][5]
The area is notable for its many waterfalls.[6] To visit them you need to book a ticket on the protected Space of the river Brugent. The natural river pools are called: Miami or Boix Pound, Valls pound, and La Mola or la Torra Pound.
