Characteristics

Location

Setting out from the Lleida motorway (A-2) towards the village of El Bruc, we take the main track until we find a turn-off to the left that leads us to the industrial area; we pass right next to a pallet factory, here we find a dirt track heading towards can Ribera, we continue along this track, but without turning off onto the branch that leads to the house, continuing along the same track for approximately one kilometre, until we find a path on the right that will lead us to the Pierola stream; once in the torrent bed we must go up the stream until we reach the waterfall, just below it we will find the cave.
