The meander of the Ter is dry, in Les Masies de Roda (Osona), although the route of the river can be guessed, once the water from the Sau reservoir has disappeared, as can be seen in the Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia.
The meander is a curve described by the course of a river, whose sinuosity is pronounced, as can be seen in the images. They form more easily in rivers on alluvial plains with very little slope.
Next to the Sau reservoir we find the viewpoint of the meander of the Ter, from which you can see Sant Pere de Casserres, an 11th century Romanesque monastery of the Benedictine order and which has an origin closely linked to women.
It is recorded that in the year 1006, the Viscountess Ermetruit de Osona-Cardona, together with her daughter-in-law Engúncia, raised money for the foundation of the monastery that they wanted to convert into the family monastery.
Finally, it was Engúncia de Osona-Cardona who was able to see the consecration of the abbey in 1053, although a Benedictine community had already been installed a few years earlier.
It was the burial place of this lineage and other noble families of the region, main benefactors of the community.
