Large fissure on a 20 m deep ramp in Sant Llorenç del Munt.

Characteristics

Location

At km. 13.5 on the road from Terrassa to Mura, on a left-hand bend, there is a flat area set up as a car park where the car is left. Here a path begins that descends towards the riera de les Arenes, in front of the Canal de les Teixoneres. Following the stream down, the path goes into the right-hand slope of the Sot de la Bóta and when it crosses the stream it turns back. You must continue onwards, eastwards, along a path parallel to the Sot de la Bóta and a little further on there is a marker indicating the trail to follow, which climbs steeply up towards the carena dels Ginebrers. Before reaching the top, on a flat area, the Park's pit sign is already visible and a few metres away its entrance. (Itinerary provided by Antoni Ferro, SIE – CEA).
