Location

From the hamlet of Canalda and from cal Reguer, we will go down the path until we reach a large and splendid oak grove. We will look for an abandoned path that descends among the oaks along the slope in an E direction, until it comes out onto a rocky outcrop from where we can observe a good view of the rasa de Canalda and the riera de Canalda at the point where they converge.

About 20 metres below this point and quite hidden by the vegetation we will find the cave entrance. From the entrance of the cova del Sac de Gemecs the cave entrance can be seen perfectly.

Coordinates to be reviewed and without any precision.
