Characteristics

Location

We will set out from the village of Prats de Lluçanès along the BV-4341 road. When we reach the hamlet of Lluçà, we will take a dirt track that we find on our right and continue along the track until we reach the Garet farmhouse; just a little above it we will see the shelter and, beside it, the Font del Garet.
