You can park in the car park at the Espai Polivalent (Av. Narcís Arnau, 1), where you will see the signpost G156 Les Planes d’Hostoles and head for Sant Feliu de Pallerols along the old railway line ‘El Carrilet’ that once connected Olot to Girona. Almost immediately, you cross a bridge, Pont de Can Poeti, over the river Brugent. Once across, at signpost PH1 Pont de Can Poeti turn left and go down a flight of steps to the river and the Can Poeti bathing pool.
Return along the same path.

ATENTION

The regulations for uses and access to the gorges of Les Planes have changed, during periods of high influx, you will have to buy a day ticket online to be able to go to the gorges, as the capacity has been limited to 300 people per day in the protected natural space.
You can buy the ticket on the booking page Pre-booking

We recommend that you buy it in advance because they run out very quickly

When you arrive at the pool you will find an informant who will tell you the capacity available in that pool or in the other pools of the Brugent protected space (only in periods of restrictions)
