Alpens is situated in the north-east of Osona, in Llu\u00e7an\u00e8s, bordering Ripoll\u00e8s with the town of les Llosses and bordering Bergued\u00e0 with the town of Borred\u00e0. It has an area of 13,82 square km and it is situated 855 high, it is mountainous and there are headwaters of the Llu\u00e7anesa, Gavarresa and Sora streams. The continental climate gives forests of red pines, oaks, holm oaks, beeches… with a boxwood, juniper and hawthorn. We can also find a great variety of medicinal and aromatic plants (like thyme, lavender,…) and a lot of mushrooms.<\/div>\n
