Location

From Camprodon we will follow the C-38 road towards Molló; after kilometre 13, we will turn right onto the GIV-5223 road towards Rocabruna and Beget. Shortly before kilometre 4, a path on the left takes us to can Bernat Pelut. The cavity is located to the E and above the house, at the base of the second crag, and near the pits of Roca Sabeia.

Approximate coordinates, to be reviewed.
