Os de Balaguer • Noguera 86m

An 86-metre-long cave in Os de Balaguer, formed by three conduits that cross the spur of the crag.

Characteristics

Location

It is located at the western end of the serra de Sant Miquel. From the ermita de Sant Salvador one must take the track that climbs to the Castellassos; on reaching Cal Pinyana one gains the edge of the crag, descending along it to the tip of a spur where the openings are found on either side of it.

Approximate coordinates without much reliability.
