Location

Start on the same route as for going to the avenc dels Aragalls. From the car park at Pla de Querol, continue along the road towards la Plana Novella for just over 200 metres; here, on the left, there are two small esplanades, and in a S direction a broad ridge begins between two torrents that descend towards the fondo de les Coves. About 300 metres from the road, on a wide and level stretch of the ridge and right in the middle of the rascler, is the pit.

Entrances
