Characteristics

Location

Small pit in the municipality of Fígols i Alinyà.

From L'Alzina, from the highest streets of the village, we take a well-defined path that leads us into the barranc de l'Alzina. A little further on the path begins to descend, and just here a faint trail branches off, which among old terraces gradually gains height, always skirting the cliff on our left. The trail disappears, but we continue climbing to the end of the first cliff. Then we climb up looking for the wall; first we will see the mouth of a fissure, and almost at the end of the cliff, six metres above the ground, the small mouth of the cavity opens. It is not yet visible, as it forms a ledge that gives us easy access from the corner of the cliff. In front of us we observe a well-marked barranc, quite steep on the other side of the valley.

GPS readings taken before 2 May 2000 may show some margins of error.
