The road crosses the river and joins C 147, the direct road from Balaguer. This passes through the tunnels of the Portell dels Terradets, between the hills of the Sierra de Montsech, and along the Embalse de Terradets to Tremp (alt. 507m/1663ft), situated on a hill above the right bank of the Río Noguera Pallaresa, which still preserves remains of its old walls.
To the north of Tremp is the Embalse des Talarn, formed by a dam 206m/225yd long and 82m/269ft high which supplies a hydro-electric station with an output of 300,000 kW.
From Tremp C 144 continues north, passes through the medieval village of Talarn and comes to a road junction at Pobla de Segur (alt. 540m/1,772ft), where the Río Flamisell flows into the Río Noguera. Pobla de Segur, a timber-working and dairy-farming town, is a good base for walkers and climbers as well as for excursions into the Pyrenees by car. The local rivers and streams, well stocked with fish, are a paradise for anglers.
