Characteristics

Location

In the municipality of Àger. By the track that goes from the coll d'Ares to the summit of Sant Alís, on reaching the col before this summit, we will head north-west where the cliff is accessible, since it is the pas dels pous. Going down a little along the pass we will find the upper entrance of the Cova Avenc del Celler del Fuster; from here we will go about 50 metres east, where there is a cliff of 7 metres and at the foot of it is the entrance of the cavity.
