Bellver de Cerdanya • Cerdanya 6m 3m

Small rock shelter in Bellver de Cerdanya, a chamber about 6 m deep and about 4 m wide, possibly the remnant of a former pit.

Characteristics

Location

Driving along the N-260 road (Puigcerdà – la Seu d'Urgell), at around km. 198, before the turnoff to Prullans and shortly after the restaurant La Muga, there is a turnoff to the right that enters a small industrial area along a paved track. A little over a hundred metres along, the track turns left towards the marble quarry of Griot, SA and on the same bend, to the right, the track to the house of Anes begins. Follow it until you get as close as possible to the Roques Roges and from there ascend, practically without a path, until you reach the crag.

Description

Morphology

Rock shelter formed by a chamber about 6 m deep and about 4 m wide. On the back wall a very narrow descending fissure can be seen that appears to close a little further on.

It appears to be the remains of a former pit.
