Location

We will leave the village of Vallclara along the dirt track called camí del Bosc; continuing along the track we will cross the barranc de Viern over a concrete bridge, reach the pla de Ruau, find several junctions and always take the right-hand one, until we come to a very tight bend; just here a track in very poor condition branches off to the right and will lead us to the cova del Sastre, where the path ends.

Entrances

Always verify coordinates and access conditions before setting out.
