Cova dels àngels

Cova de 40 metres de recorregut a la Serra de Lleràs.

Conca de Dalt • Pallars Jussà40m5m

A 40-metre-long cave in the Serra de Lleràs, explored in 1977 by the GE Badalona.

Characteristics

Location

We go to the village of Toralla and take the track towards the ermita de Sant Salvador. With a 4x4 or a high-clearance car you can reach the last bend, where there is plenty of room to park. We reach the ermita and go down the small path found to the right of the ermita in the direction of Toralla, and just before the small grove of oaks, we go down the gully on our left. It is quite steep, but we can make our way forward through all the vegetation. The cave is right in the middle of the gully, quite hidden, and we find it on our left on a tiny ledge about 10 minutes and 60 m of elevation gain from the ermita.

It is important not to stray from the centre of the gully, because there are ravines on both sides.

Speleothems

The lower gallery is quite heavily decorated with formations.
