Location

At the base of the western crag of the Plecs del Llibre, in Matadepera (Sant Llorenç de Munt).

The best-known route starts from the tanks of the Cavall Bernat residential area, located below the roques de les Onze Hores. The path continues below the crag as a track to a torrent that must be crossed, and then a steep climb is undertaken that leads to the path that goes from Can Torras to the Plecs del Llibre, which must be followed, finding the Avenc de la Codoleda a few metres from it. About 10 m above, after a short scramble, is the cave of the same name.
