Avenc de la Cendra

Ínfim avenc de 6 metres de fondària a Albinyana.

Albinyana • Baix Penedès9m6m

Tiny 6-metre-deep pit in Albinyana, of tectonic type, located and explored in 1974.

Characteristics

Location

From the W of Albinyana an asphalted track leaves and in a little over a kilometre climbs up to the castle of l'Esquernosa and the chapel of Sant Antoni de Pàdua. From the recreation area of the chapel, a path leaves towards the puig de Sant Antoni; from the westernmost corner of the chapel, we will follow this path for about 180 metres, a little before reaching the avenc dels Joans, on the left a faint trail leaves and in 20 metres leads us to the cavity; this is located a few metres above the base of the rocky wall, but of easy access.
