Cova del Pont

Petita cova de 19 metres de recorregut a Les Valls d'Aguilar

Valls d'Aguilar, Les • Alt Urgell19m7m

Small cave with 19 metres of passage in Les Valls d'Aguilar, with two entrances at 7 metres of vertical drop.

Characteristics

Location

On the road from Noves de Segre to Taús and before reaching Bellpui, we find a track on the left that leads to a house and a few metres further down reaches the river; the track continues on the other side of the river, following its course. About a hundred metres after having crossed the river we will take an ascending path on the right-hand side. After half an hour of climbing in zig-zag we will leave the path and cross a torrent to head towards some walls that lie to the south. First we will find the cova del Pi Gros, a little further east we find the cova del Pont and further east we find the cova de l'Escala, which is visible from the road and the river, serving as a reference for its location before starting the ascent.
