Characteristics

Location

Following the track between the Pla d'Ardenya quarry and the avenc Pompeu Fabra in the direction of the Creu d'Ardenya, we will come to a crossroads that, to the left, leads to the avenc T-38 and heads towards the track of the poliè of Pla d'Ardenya. From the aforementioned crossroads, we will follow the track in a S direction, towards the Creu d'Ardenya for 235 metres, as a reference, at this point on the right there is a small cultivated field (data from 2011). From this point there are 290 metres in a S direction, to the crossroads with the main track that climbs from the Mas de les Fonts and heads towards the Creu d'Ardenya. Once at the reference point, we will have to follow to the left in an E direction and through the middle of the forest for 75 metres where we will find the cavity inside a depression.
