Location

From the road from la Pobla de Segur to Sort (N-260), before reaching Gerri de la Sal, the turn-off that climbs to Baén branches off. Past the small village of Bresca there is a very sharp left-hand bend from which the turn-off to Useu branches off. To the S. of this bend the so-called Serrat Blanc de Bresca and the Roca de Malleràs rise, on the S. slope of which the cavity is found.
