Characteristics

Location

From the track that goes from Prat de Comte towards the Port, once at the coll de la Carrasqueta you have to traverse in a NE direction towards the pic de l'Àguila. The pit is found practically in the col between the peak and the 790 spot height. Since the dividing line between Prat de Comte and Paüls passes along the ridge, we can say that it is a pit belonging to both municipalities.

(Note: The coordinates and therefore the location on the map are approximate, but due to the requirements of the computer program we have to give some data in this section).
