Tivissa • Ribera d'Ebre 17m

A 17-metre-long cave in Tivissa, with difficult access and explored by SIRE-Cornellà.

Characteristics

Location

The cave is located in Tivissa. Access is difficult: the track that leaves Tivissa and follows the camí de la Llena, shortly before reaching the mas de la Devesa, is closed with a padlock, in addition to signs prohibiting passage, both for vehicles and people. From behind the mas de la Devesa a path sets out that crosses a stream and heads to the mas d'en Benito. From this mas one must climb across fields and old terraces to the serra Segrentana, which runs perpendicular to the serra de la Creu. Past the col that separates the serra Segrentana from the whole of the serra de la Creu, one must follow a small cliff face that is on the right. The cave is clearly visible from the foot of this cliff face. The coordinates are approximate, based on a cartography from the year 1952 at a scale of 1:50,000 with little reliability.
