Location

A tiny cavity in the Penya Roja area, Vilaverd. From la Riba along the TV-7044 road towards Farena, after km 3, a small parking area appears on the left below the youth camp; from this point a path crosses the Brugent river, leaving the Moli de la Font Gran on the right. We leave a path on the right heading towards la Riba (signpost); following the main path we find another junction, we continue to the right, passing by the avenc dels Tres Grans and del Xalau. Then we find a new junction which we follow by the left-hand path towards the Penya Roja (signpost Penya Roja-Cingle dels Pins Alts).
