Cova del Duc

A good-sized entrance, 13 metres wide by 7 high. It hangs in the very middle of the cliff and has privileged views towards the cingles de Bertí. The cavity has two well-defined sections. The first is a large chamber that maintains cross-sections not much smaller than those of the entrance. Suddenly, the ceiling lowers and gives way to the second section, a forked gallery where you will have to crouch down to reach the bottom. The floor is of clay or rock, depending on the spot, and in the second section we find some blocks of a certain size. Total route: 28 metres.

To get there, we will take the asphalted track that climbs from Tagamanent to the pla de la Calma. When we have gone about a kilometre and a half, and well before a sharp bend to the right, we will leave the car at a widening on the right from which an ascending path sets off. We will follow it until we reach a spot where there is a muddy area, an old spring. From here on, the path becomes complicated. Just past the spring, we will go up along a faintly marked path with some forks that can be misleading. When we find some white marks (very precarious), we will follow them as they will lead us directly to the entrance. Just before reaching it, the path runs along a ledge that ends at a handrail, since the cavity hangs in the cliff. From the car to the cave: about 20 minutes.
