Tenes waterfall

The Tenes river makes its presence felt in Sant Miquel del Fai with a 300-metre-high waterfall. Although it belongs to the municipality of Bigues i Riells, the upper part of the waterfall is located at the point where the municipalities of Bigues i Riells, Sant Feliu de Codines and Sant Quirze Safaja meet. The waterfall is formed by the Tenes river cascading down from El Fitó cliff. Behind the water curtain, a gallery allows you to pass through. There, you will find stalactites, stalagmites and stone walls.

Some of the unique geological features found alongside the Tenes waterfall include calcareous tufas, which are in a process of permanent formation. They can be identified by abundant calcareous deposits with distinctly vertical structures.

The waterfalls are surrounded by plant communities of great interest. Mosses abound with populations of fern species such as the black maidenhair fern (Adiantum capillus-veneris).
