Coveta del Toixó

Petita cova a la zona de les Deus, Sant Quintí de Mediona.

Sant Quintí de Mediona • Alt Penedès5m0

Small cave in the area of les Deus, Sant Quintí de Mediona, formed by a single 5-metre gallery that ends in an impassable crawlway.

Characteristics

Location

From Sant Quintí de Mediona, we will take the passeig de les Deus to the end, at the gates of the Parc d'Oci i Natura de les Deus. We will continue on foot alongside the fence in a N direction. At the end we will cross the riera de Sant Quintí. From here we will follow a path in a NW direction that after 100 m turns towards the SW. Shortly before (at the height of the abric de les Deus) we will see the small cave on the other side of the torrent. We will have to follow the path and shortly after crossing the torrent we will leave it to go down on the left, without a path, until we find the cave.
