A large shelter in Marganell (Bages), 72 metres wide and shallow, known since time immemorial.

Characteristics

Location

From km 4.6 of the BV-1123 road, a track sets off which we will follow for 160 metres. Here we will leave the car if we do not have a 4x4 vehicle, and we will continue on foot along a track that sets off on our left, in a NW direction. After covering about 750 metres and overcoming 80 metres of elevation gain, we will reach a spot where the track turns almost 180º; here we will leave the track and continue on foot in a NW direction along little-marked paths and after 60 metres we will easily reach the shelter.
