Location

Leaving Collbató along the camí de la Vinya Nova, on reaching the ruins of the Casalot take, to the right, the old path from Collbató to the monastery via Sant Miquel (also known as de les Bateries). The path climbs steeply and after about 300 metres begins to wind. At the second bend (to the left) and just on the right-hand side of the path, the cave mouth opens, half hidden.
