A tiny cave with a passage of barely 5 metres, on the west slope of Montcau (Sant Llorenç del Munt).

Characteristics

Location

On the west slope of Montcau (Sant Llorenç del Munt). It is reached by starting the walk on the path that leads from the coll d'Estenalles to the summit of els Cortins; once the bed of the canal del Séc has been crossed, the path must be left to the left, descending until a charcoal burner's hut and an adjacent boulder field are found. From this boulder field one sets off in a northerly direction, initially without losing height. Once inside the forest, one begins to lose height, first passing a gully at the head of which there is a clearly vertical and compact cliff face, where the cova Penjada del Montcau opens. Very approximate coordinates.
