Balma de Rocagiberta

Gran balma a Talamanca (el Bages)

Talamanca • Bages10m0

Large rock shelter in Talamanca (Bages), about a hundred metres wide and some 30 metres high.

Characteristics

Location

From Talamanca, take a track that passes behind the castle and descends towards the riera de Talamanca, at the height of the molí del Menut. Follow the track, which now crosses the riera and climbs the other slope. From the mill we must continue for 1200 metres, where the track splits in two. Here we will leave the car. From the junction a path heads NE that will take us directly to the rock shelter after covering 650 metres. The rock shelter is visible from afar.
