A very small pit of almost 2 m of depth at the Fondo de Vallbona (Garraf).

Characteristics

Location

At the head of the Fondo de Vallbona.

From the car park at the Pla de Querol, go back along the road that comes from the Pleta to the first bend on the right. From here, follow in direction E30N, cross a small stream at the head of the Fondo de Vallbona and, keeping the height, at about 450 metres a very marked ridge is visible (heights 447 and 436 on the Alpina map). In the middle, in a limestone outcrop, the entrance is found.
