Tiny 4-metre-deep pit in Albinyana, discovered in 1967 by J. Agüera of the SES of Club Esquí Puigmal.

Characteristics

Location

From the W of Albinyana an asphalted track sets out that in little more than a kilometre climbs up to the castle of l'Esquernosa and the chapel of Sant Antoni de Pàdua where there is a recreation area. From this point, one must follow the path that climbs to the puig de Sant Antoni; soon we will find on the left the avenc dels Joans on the left of the path; we will continue climbing this and 60 metres further on and on the left of the path we will find a small path in the direction of the cliff, which in a few metres leads us to the avenc de les Arrels.
