Location

To reach the cave, leave Vilanova de Meià along the L-913 road; after travelling one and a half kilometres, at the height of the font de l'Hedra, we find a large esplanade that covers the tunnel through which the river Boix flows. On the right-hand side of the road we find an ascending path with signposts for going to the Cogulló and to the cova del Castejon; this is 500 metres away from this point and about 20 metres off the path that climbs to the Cogulló, being perfectly signposted.
