Characteristics

Location

On the TP-2442 road from Sant Jaume dels Domenys to Pla de Manlleu, and at the closed 180º bend at km 4.5, a track begins in a SW direction that crosses the col. We must follow it for about 130 metres from the road to branch off towards the right slope and descend about 15 metres down this slope. The cave is found in a rocky outcrop very close to the municipal boundary.
