After a little over two hundred kilometres, from its source in the Capçaleres del Ter y del Freser Natural Park in the Pyrenees, the Ter River reaches the coastal town of Torroella de Montgrí. From the Gola del Ter we can go back up part of the river in a kayak. It is a simple activity, designed for all audiences, that only requires basic instructions to use the paddle and get going. Where the river narrows further, riverside vegetation contributes to the feeling of being in a much more isolated spot, even as the road passes very close by. Many bird species can be seen along the way, including the little grebe, herons and the striking kingfisher. Another option is to follow the river along the Ter Route, an itinerary linking the Pyrenees to the Costa Brava that can be covered on foot and by bike.
