Location

From Collbató we will take the B-112 road towards Monistrol until kilometre 2.5. At this point we find on the left bank Les Mentiroses de Collbató, a semi-active spring. From here the entrance can be seen on a cliff above the road. To access the cave, one must go up the first torrent we find until reaching the base of the cliff, where the cova del Duc is located. From here an 18-metre climb is required to reach the cave entrance.

Description

Morphology

After completing an 18-metre climb, one enters a wide porch 10 metres high by 4 metres wide and 10 metres long. The sloping floor rises up to 7 metres. About 5 metres to the left we find a low-roofed gallery that closes after 4 metres. Further on and also to the left we find a gallery 2.5 metres high by 1 metre wide; after 6 metres the gallery turns 90º to the left, becoming impassable 5 metres further on.

Progression

To access the cave, one must go up the first torrent we find until reaching the base of the cliff, where the cova del Duc is located. From here an 18-metre climb is required to reach the cave entrance.
