Location

From Camprodon we will follow the C-38 road towards Molló; after kilometre 13, we will turn right onto the GIV-5223 road towards Rocabruna and Beget. Shortly before kilometre 4, a track on the left takes us to can Bernat Pelut. The cavity is located to the E and above the house, on the upper plateau of the Roca Sabeia, at the very top of the second crag, where a long fissure parallel to the cliff opens, inside which we find pit no. 1.
