tobotronc

Activities outdoors in The Rabassa (Andorra) to 30 km

The TOBOTRONC, known technically with Alpine Coaster's name, is the longest Alpine slide of the world with 5.300 meters of tour and joins the Shooting range with the Field of Snow.

With a difference of 400 meters and five kilometres of tour, the slide has turned into the mechanical repair for longer cable of the world, and no doubt, it will be some of the most attractive activities so much for major as for children in the country of the Pyrenees.

The new attraction allows to cross of a very attractive form the environment of the forest of The Rabassa, circulating on a bobsled that moves for a few rails of steel. An offer of sure, respectful amusement with the environment and for all the public ones that there allows to have a totally new perspective of the forest of The Rabassa from his interior. In addition, the Tobotronc connects two Naturlàndia's spaces: the Shooting range and the Planell de Conangle.

 The bobsled has capacity for two occupants, and the one that sits down behind is the manager of dominating the machine by means of two levers, which they help to stop in the curves or in those slopes in which one warns by means of signs that it is better to reduce the speed. The new attraction has 100 coaches or bobsleds in those who can travel

 

ST VICENÇ D’ESTAMARIU CHURCH

Iglesia de San Vicenç d'Estamariu (200 metros)

We advise, not to go away of the people without visiting our Sant Vicenç's impressive iglésia romànica d'Estamariu, temple of plant basilical with Romanesque paintings of the 12th century. The only ones preserved in situ in the Alt Urgell.

It is a Romanesque church, next to the old cemetery, in the road that goes towards Bescaran. It was a place of worship up to after the civil war (1936-1939), where the trades of deceased were celebrated, before there was sinking his cover of wood (1950) that was the only copy in the whole region. Of plant basilical, with three ships, the major people remember that always there has seen the ship of the midday and his apse rendered useless.

The apse of the central ship is semicircular with three windows, decorated externally by a frieze of arquillos Lombards. The absidiolo of the north side disappeared together with his ship. The absidiolo of the south offers us, externally, a blocked up window.

The disposition of the elongated ashlars, placed in uniform rows, is known between the people of the country as " lligada of gavatx ".

The construction of the church can place at the end of s. X or at the beginning of s. The XIth, when they penetrate the first influences of the Lombard forms in the architecture of our country. Surely the original construction was solving the primitive cover with a return of semicircular cannon in the central ship and with returns of a quarter of circle in the lateral ships. The destruction of the cover Of the central ship it gave step to a solution in wood that lasted until 1950.

Part of the interior ornamentation of this church is in the Museu d'Art of Catalonia, where we can contemplate the canopy and an altarpiece painted by Estamariu's so called Teacher, in s. The XIVth

pesca

Fishing

The Hotel is placed to 5 kilometres of the river Segre, ideal place for the fishing of the trout.

The season of fishing in the river Segre, goes from February until October 31. Catalan To be able to go fishing there is needed necessarily the license of fishing and the tiket of the estate, since the river is annotated by the Company of fishing Bassella-Oliana.

Bassella-Oliana's estate is closed every Wednesday. It is for it that we propose them, for this day, to be able to enjoy the fishing in Organyà's estate
Another possibility, it is to practise the fishing in Oliana's Marsh, where it is possible to go fishing all the year round. The obligatory documentation is the same that to be going to go fishing to the river, though the tickets of the estate ploughs different.

 
setas

Mushrooms

With the autumn arrival there appear in our forests a few strange, but attractive fruits: the mushrooms. Some of them are dangerous, but a good part of they, them more searches, are very valued.

Every year we are more that we go out to the mount in search of these small exchequers, some for the pleasure of gathering and enjoying them at the same time our forests and of " breathing pure air ", others for his undeniable gastronomic pleasure and others for his pecuniary, clear value it is.
The appearance of the mushrooms has much that to see with the climatological autumns conditions, principally with the rain (especially after the summer that we have had), so if it rains a bit, the fans of this "sport" we will have a very good autumn.

He is inside the territorial functional area (ATF) of the High Pyrenees and Arán (Alt Pirineu i Ploughs). It is the city most filled with the region and with the ATF, concentrating 17 ' 4 % of population of the latter.

It is placed in the interiver of the river Segre and the river Valira, little before his confluence in a small fluvial terrace, continuation of the Pla de les Forques

The High place Urgel is the natural door to the condition of Andorra. Good part of the strength of this city, inside the area of the High Pyrenees and Arán, owes to the demographic and economic importance of Andorra.

The bosses of this city are: San Odón of Urgel, San Sebastian and the Mother of God of Urgel, whereas the Virgin of Nuria and San Ermengol, they are the principal bosses of Urgel's Diocese, but in case of San Ermengol, has a presence more emphasized in the city, that the rest of bosses.
