Characteristics

Location

From the hamlet of l'Hospitalet, we will follow a track to a sharp bend above the riera de Gréixer. We will begin walking towards the place called “el Claper”, with a spring beside it. From here we will climb to the Camp del teixó, and continue upwards until reaching the level of the first cliff. Penetrating into the vegetation, with luck we will find the cavity, not far from the RS-1.
