Location

From the Campgràs doline, we head towards the Benjamí Digón pit; from there we continue east to find the Anna Svacbroc pit, quite visible thanks to a large cairn painted with blue stripes (2009 data). From here we head east where, about 60 metres away, we find a doline containing the avenc de la Palmera and the avenc del Tell; from the latter we continue about 30 metres south, where we find the entrance of the pit.
