Location

Once past the coll de l'Ordal on the N-340 road towards Vilafranca del Penedès, a long stretch of the route begins; about 650 metres after passing km. 1228 there is the entrance of a track on the right, shortly before a bridge and under a high-voltage line. Following this track, which soon takes the direction towards the NE, once past under the first high-voltage line and before reaching the second very close one, a turn-off exits on the left that climbs and which must be followed until, after a few metres, finding the pit on the right of the path.
