Location

The cavity is located in the Morella area (Garraf). From the Campgràs doline we will go up the road towards puig Ginebró, where the “bola” of the radioelectric installations of the serrat de la Morella is found; on reaching the last crossroads after the steep climb, we will head in direction E19S for about a hundred metres, the point where the cavity is found. At 45 metres of route we will already make out the whole slope, where various cairns are visible, among them that of the avenc Destapat (data from 2012). The cavity is located 10 metres to the W of the avenc de la Lira.
