Two small fossilized springs at the riera Blanca (Centelles), catalogued on 1-11-2017.

Characteristics

Location

From the village of Centelles we must take the track that leads to the molí de la Llavina; once we arrive we will leave it on our left and continue along the track that climbs parallel to the stream until we reach the house of la Crosella, here we will leave the car, to descend to the bed of the torrent through a path that goes down to the sot del salt de l'Infern. Just when the steep descent begins we will find the first cave on the left of the path, the second cave we find just below the Salt de l'Infern in a corner on the right of the sot.
