Estany de Sils

The old lake of Sils took up a large area of the Selva plain, and it was one of the most important lakes of Catalonia. In the XIX century, it was drained in order to benefit the cops and control the malaria, and it hasn’t been until the XXI century, when it has been decided to recover part of its original extension, so that its natural and landscape values can be preserved.
