Characteristics

Location

Going along the road from Alcover to Capafonts (TV 7041), before reaching Mont-ral and a few metres before reaching Km. 10, a track begins, asphalted at first, which crosses the Pla de les Perdius. We will always continue straight, ignoring the forks, until the track ends in a widening of it in the middle of the forest, on the ridge of the serra d'en Clarà. From this point and in a N direction a path sets out that leads us to the avenc del Cabirol. From here we must continue in a direction O25N along a path opened through the dense forest for a little more than a hundred metres, where we will find the entrances of the pits NR-6, NR5 and NR-4. From the latter we will follow the path in a direction N33Oest for 90 metres, where we will reach the upper part of a cliff of about 10 metres of drop; right in front we have a rock wall that makes the space occupied by the cliff seem like a channel; at the base of this the avenc de l'Escletxa opens; we must descend by rappel to the entrance of the avenc de l'Escletxa; from here a ramp begins that descends the channel; at the end of this we find the avenc de la Dolina. We pass over this and head towards the E through a kind of valley; 35 metres away we will find the two entrances of the avenc de la Sala, on the left of this kind of valley and at the foot of a rocky wall.
