The activities one can do in
the village depend on the time of the year.
The typical sightseeing
excursions one can do all year round are visiting the village
and the excursion to the Llobregat springs (source of the Llobregat
river).
Other excursions from the village are those based on
cultural and religious characteristics, as for example the visit
of two Romanesque churches: Sant Joan de Cornudell and Sant Vicenç de
Rus and also the visit of the Santuary of Mongrony (in the summer
one can do it walking and it is very interesting excursion).
Culture visits:
Museu del Pastor (the Museum of the
Sheppard): in the old part of the village, it is a small
museum which shows how important this trade was and still is
in the area.
Museu del Ciment (the Museum of Cement): some
kilometres away from the village but within its municipality,
this museum is part of the Museu de la Ciència i la Tècnica
(Science and Technical Museum) of Terrasa. It is a very interesting
museum, and one can take a tour with the train of cement and
visit the Artigas (Gaudi) gardens as well as the village of La
Pobla de Lillet.
Events:
The main event of the village as well as the most well known
is the International Competition of Catalan Sheepdogs which takes
place in Castellar de n’Hug’s castle’s meadow,
the last Sunday in August.
Seasonal events:
Autumn: to come to Castellar
de n’Hug to look for wild mushrooms.
Winter: snow activities. La
Molina ski resort is twenty minutes from the village, with good
access as well as special discounts if you are staying in Castellar
de n’Hug.
Summer: excursions and any
kind of mountain activities, without having to endure extremely
hot temperatures.
Spring: very similar to summer
but being able to enjoy the bright colours of nature as the landscape
awakes from winter. It is without doubt the best time to visit
the Llobregat river springs.
