Àger • Noguera 19m

Small cave with a 19-metre passage in the municipality of Àger.

Characteristics

Location

By the paved track that climbs from Àger towards the coll d'Ares, on reaching the plans de Badia we will take the track on the left in the direction of the font de l'Hospital and the former monastery of Sant Llorenç (currently in ruins), following the track to the end we will arrive at a large flat area located to the south of the Trona. From here, along the west side of the flat area, a path sets off in the direction of the various climbing routes of the so-called paret de Catalunya. Once at the foot of the cliff we only have to follow it in a westerly direction until we reach the Cova Negra de Corçà; continuing down along the cliff we will find the cave 100 metres further on, two metres from the avenc de la Paret.

It can also be reached via Corçà and the Mas de Carlets; on reaching the latter we will already see the entrance of the Cova negra de Corçà, unfortunately at present the old paths are lost and one has to go across country.
