Location

On the LV-4241b road, from Solsona to Coll de Jou, at kilometre 21.5 we find the Fenarals bend; from here we head NE for 250 metres to the base of the cliff of the Tossal de la Creu del Codó, where we will find the cavity. It can also be reached from the Coll de Jou, from where an asphalted track heads SE to the recreational area of the Creu del Codó; from here it is necessary to descend to the base of the cliff and follow it towards the E, where we will find the cavity at about 300 metres distance.

Approximate coordinates to be checked.
