Cave with possible archaeological interest on the Siurana river, with a wide entrance of more than 10 metres and 12 metres of passage, closed in 2022 for future excavations.

Characteristics

Location

From the plaça Major de la Febró we will set off in a W direction along carrer del Canyeret and follow the track parallel to the barranc de la Foradada; at 350 metres we will cross the barranc de l'Avellanar and leave the track before reaching a farm that has prohibited passage; we will follow a path on the left that passes along the bed of the barranc de la Foradada and a little further on we will rejoin the track; after 1.1 kilometres on the left we find the Tosca dels Escanals; at 1.26 we cross a track that climbs on the right to the masos de Galzeran; from this point we will continue along a path and the bed of the barranc; at 1.4 we pass the molí de la Febró; at 1.78 we leave on the right a path that leads to the masos de Galzeran and to the camí del Mig; from here the path runs along the left of the barranc; at 2 kilometres we will reach the cova Serena.

This is the most sensible route; there are some tracks that bring you closer but with the risk of finding them closed with padlocks.
