Balma de Palaci

Àmplia balma a Rajadell (Bages)

Rajadell • Bages8m0

A wide rock shelter in Rajadell, in the Bages, 48 m long, about 8 m deep and about 6 m high, with short galleries and incipient stalactites.

Characteristics

Location

We will set out from the village of Rajadell along the N-141 road, heading towards the village of Castellar; we will soon take a forest track that leaves on our left and pass beside the house of the Ravell. We will continue along the main track, leaving several turnings aside; the path passes beside large cultivated fields, until we reach the corral de Palaci. Here we will leave the car, in order to climb, without a path, through the middle of the forest in a westerly direction, until we find the rock shelter, which we will see — when we are very close — is completely hidden by the vegetation.
