Odèn • Solsonès 5m

Small cave with 5 metres of passage hanging over the riera de Canalda (Odèn), which serves as a nest for some birds of prey.

Characteristics

Location

From Canalda, we will descend in a S direction along a path that passes through a large and beautiful oak grove, cross the beginning of a small torrent and continue along the left-hand path that descends to some cultivated fields located on the right bank of the riera de Canalda. From the cultivated field, we will descend through the middle of the forest in an E direction until we reach the very side of the cliff along which the riera de Canalda passes. It should be said that by crossing the riera and positioning ourselves on the left bank, it will be easier for us to locate the cavity, since it is situated halfway up the wall of the cliff. Approximate coordinates to be reviewed and without much precision.
