Location

From Borredà we will follow the BV-4656 road towards Sant Jaume de Frontanyà; at kilometre 2.935 we will turn left towards the hermitage of Sant Sadurní de Rotgers. Once past the coll de la Cirera, and a few metres further on from the Font de la Cirera, we will park after a distance of 1470 metres from the BV-4656 road.

We will follow an old track in a northerly direction for about 300 metres until we reach a cliff where the cavity is located. The last metres are pathless through the middle of the forest.
