Characteristics

Location

Small pit in the Racó del Teix area, Mont-ral. From Mont-ral we head W; once past the esplanade where people park at the exit of the village, we come to a crossroads, we leave the path that climbs to La Foradada and the Pla de l'Avenc, and we follow the path heading NW. Once we have covered 75 metres, a path comes off to the left which we follow, this one is from time to time marked with cairns and red dots; we come to a first junction where we continue to the right, a little further on we find a small trail on the left marked with cairns and the red dots, we must continue to the right. After covering one kilometre from the esplanade at the exit of the village, we go into the forest on the left heading West for a hundred metres, where with the help of the coordinates we will find the cavity. As a reference it is located 42 metres to the SW of the cova de la Llosa.
