Location

We will leave the village of Mura, just in front of the church we will cross the riera de Nespres over a wooden footbridge and take a path climbing up; soon, the path forks.

If we take the path on the left we will soon find the font del Formatget, under a monumental plane tree, and if we follow the path on the right we will pass beside a lime kiln; on our left the waterfall and the balma de la Blanquera.

Entrances
