La Resclosa del Molí de Calvet, located in the charming town of Pont de Molins, is a place of great natural beauty and historical value. This dam, built on the Muga River, originally served to divert water to the old Calvet mill, which was an integral part of the agricultural and economic life of the region. Today, the resclosa is a point of tourist interest and an excellent example of Girona's hydraulic heritage, offering visitors a glimpse into the ingenuity and history of the ancient irrigation systems and mills. In addition to its historical interest, the Resclosa del Molí de Calvet is a perfect place for rest and recreation. Next to the rest area, there is a rest area equipped with tables, ideal for enjoying a picnic in a quiet and picturesque environment. This space offers visitors the opportunity to relax by the river, enjoy nature and recharge before continuing to explore the region. It is a popular destination for families as well as hikers and cyclists who travel the nearby routes, providing a welcoming respite amidst the natural landscape of Pont de Molins.

A few years ago, the route of the road was moved about 200 m to the east and a new bridge was built. Part of the three-arched structure from the 16th century is preserved from the old bridge. XVIII. The old town of Molins, also called Molins de Dalt, is located 1 km west of Pont de Molins. Near the church there is a small group of houses from the 17th and 18th centuries. The parish church of San Sebastián was completed in 1789, a date that appears on the door lintel. A few meters north of the canonical church of El Roble, is the sanctuary of the Virgen del Roble (17th century). We find the ruins of the monastery of Santa Maria del Roure 1 km north of Molins, at the top of a hill. It is worth highlighting the parish church of San Sebastián (18th century), and, near the Muga, in different places in the area, remains of old mills, the best preserved of those found to the left of the river, between Pont de Molins and Molins. Molins Castle is located in front of the Molins neighborhood. Several elements remain, such as the tower, walls and the remains of its Romanesque chapel. It was part of the defensive system of Llers (the term to which it belonged) and was one of the eleven castles that surrounded this town. It is known for the Buac tower. In this half-destroyed castle there are remains from the 11th-12th centuries.
