Baumes del Jordi-ramon

Petites balmes a les roques de Medes (Odèn).

Odèn • Solsonès6m0

Small rock shelters in the rocks of Medes (Odèn), two nearby and similar cavities known as the balmes del Jordi Ramon.

Characteristics

Location

The balmes are located in the rocks of Medes (Odèn).

To get there, from Oliana follow the road to the Valldan; almost upon arriving, take a turnoff to the right up to the collada del Sàlzer, where you take a track to the left, pass through the Sàlzer and, on reaching the riu de la Móra, where there is a farm, leave the vehicle.

You start walking along an abandoned path that climbs alongside the torrent on the right slope. You enter the forest and gradually climb until you reach the foot of the cliff of the ridge of the rocks of Medes. Before reaching the end, leave the path and follow the slope without a path or trail, in a northerly direction, until approximately the foot of the cliff, and continue along the foot of the cliff until you find the two balmes separated by a short distance but very similar. They are the balmes del Jordi Ramon.

Description

Morphology

These are two balmes very close to each other; both have a large entrance but are shallow.

The first one we will find is just over 6 metres deep and 5 m wide, with a height at the entrance of 2 metres.

The second is 5 m deep and has an average height of two metres, but it is somewhat wider and higher at the entrance than the other.
