Characteristics

Location

Located in Santa Maria de Besora, we will follow a signposted track that leaves from behind the town hall and heads towards the farmhouse of l'Adam and continues towards the farmhouse of el Mir. From this one we will continue descending until we cross the la Foradada stream by a wooden footbridge, we will descend to the ruins of the Molí del Mir and by some wooden stairs we will reach the stream bed, where the Salt del Mir is. At its base the small cavity opens.
