Vinyet is the name given to the outskirts of Solsona. There we can find crop fields, hills and farmhouses. The origin of the name comes from the vineyards that used to surround Solsona before the phylloxera plague killed them off during the 1880s. This is a circular route the follows marked trails and which allows people to discover the outskirts of Solsona and its humanized rural landscape. Fields, dry stone walls and farmhouses that maintain their farming activity are still there despite the growing urbanization of the area. The route can be done by bike and is a good way to enjoy nature without getting too far from Solsona. It is 17 kilometres long but you can decide to walk only part of it or link it with some of the other marked itineraries around Solsona.
Observations: Highways must be crossed at certain points along the trail. Please be very careful.
The route starts under the Post Office, very close to the Solsonès Tourist Office. This same place is the starting point of the following routes:
- Torrent de Ribalta
- Solsona – Pont de l’Afrau
- Mare de la Font – Castellvell
- Solsona – Torre de Riner
- Sant Bartomeu
Also from Solsona, specifically from Plaça Sant Jordi, is the starting point of the Les Basses de Brics and Alzina route following the GR-7.
