Location

The cave is located in the Serra de l'Obac. From the coll d'Estenalles – la Mata, follow the path to the coll del Vent and from there take the ridge in a NW direction that descends toward the Roure Sec. From there, continue toward the S, at the foot of the cliff that dominates the torrent de la Font Freda, which is not entirely easy. Another possibility is to follow above the cliff and, when you reach the vertical line of the cave (X: 415510; Y: 4613083), make a rappel of about 15 m that leaves you at the mouth of the small cave.
