Cova Ii de l'Afrau

Small cave with 26 metres of passage in the Montseny, Seva.

From Aiguafreda we will take the old N-152 to the end of the village in the direction of Vic; once past the street that leads to the Font dels Enamorats and having crossed the riera de Martinet, we must follow the first street on the right (carretera del Muntanyà), which climbs with quite a few bends. When these end and the street is straight, we will take the second street that we find on the right; at the point where it turns right again, on the left-hand side a track sets off towards the Mas de La Frau or Afrau. We will follow this track until we reach the Mas. Once at the Mas, and a few metres before reaching the house, a signposted path sets off from the left towards El Muntanyà. Following this path, after about 50 metres it turns left and goes into the wood; following the blue marks we will cover about 250 metres and, at an indeterminate point where there is a cairn on the left of the path, we will continue along the faint trail that will lead us in about a hundred metres to a water mine. A little further on we will see on the right, above us, the entrance of the cova I de l'Afrau. We will continue straight on until we reach the foot of the cliff, where we will find a narrow, short ledge that will allow us to pass to the other side; from here we will go down the embankment of a couple of metres where we will find an old path that we will follow in the direction of the torrent. From here we will already see the entrance hanging on the cliff; we must cross to the other side of the torrent among a wood of nettles and brambles and head towards a tree on the left of the entrance. We will climb to the first branch of the tree, from where we will access along the wall a line of parabolts that will take us to the cave entrance, this being situated 8 metres up.
