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 comes off, asphalted at first, which crosses the Pla de les Perdius. We will always continue straight ahead, 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 comes off that leads us to the avenc del Cabirol (pit of the Cabirol), after going down a short but steep slope, almost reaching the avenc del Cabirol (pit of the Cabirol) which is right next to us on the left, we find on the right a cairn that indicates the start of a half-lost path that runs through the interior of a kind of wide natural trench, after about 90 metres we will see on the right on a rocky wall, the cave-shaped entrance of the avenc de la Carbonera (pit of the Carbonera), right at the start of the rocky wall, on the right there is a gully that goes up, the mouth of the avenc del Satèl·lit (pit of the Satèl·lit) is in the middle of this small gully.
