We leave Rupit on a secondary road that enters the Natural Area of Guilleries-Savassona. The road descends steadily to the Sau reservoir, an iconic reservoir on the Ter river, known for the ruins of the bell tower of the old village that emerge when the water level drops. We cross the dam and continue along a road that circles the reservoir, but is surrounded by dense forests that block the view of the water. We leave the reservoir behind and continue towards Tavèrnoles, where we take a track that, between fields and farmhouses, takes us to Roda de Ter and finally to Vic, the capital of Osona, with its historic porticoed centre as the end point of the stage.
