In these images in La Vanguardia’s Readers’ Photos we can see how the prolonged drought has ended up transforming the landscape of the Ter meander.
The vegetation has been growing and gaining ground where before there was only water and now it has become a place that looks green surrounding the hill on whose top Sant Pere de Casserres is located.
The meander is a curve described by the course of a river, whose sinuosity is pronounced, as can be seen in the images, although in this case the river has disappeared.
They form more easily in rivers on alluvial plains with very low slopes. Next to the Sau reservoir we find the Ter meander viewpoint.
From this high point you can see Sant Pere de Casserres, a Romanesque monastery from the 11th century of the Benedictine order and which has an origin closely linked to women.
It is known that in the year 1006, 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.
