A 12-metre-long rock shelter at the Tossal de Lord, Sant Llorenç de Morunys, with four holes averaging two metres deep by half a metre high.

Characteristics

Location

At the very foot of the south wall of the mola del Lord and to the west of the masia del Sollord.

To get there we will set out from the car park at the entrance to the sanctuary of Lord. We will go down along the forest track that descends to the masia del Sollord. But before reaching it, at the first crossroads, we will continue to the right, climbing. A few metres further up, we will leave the track to climb along a worn path that will bring us to the foot of the cliff of the mola del Lord. Above we will find the balma del Goter. We will continue along the path, a little away from the cliff wall, until a few metres further on we find it at the very foot of the cliff.

Very approximate coordinates.
