Characteristics

Location

Between Noves de Segre and Bellpui, a track leaves on the left side of the road and leads to a house, and a little further on we find the river. From this point, looking towards the serra de Prada (south), we will see some scree slopes on the other side of the river; near the highest part of the left-hand scree slope and on its right-hand side according to the direction of travel, we will see the cave entrance, which is also visible from the river.
