Small cavity in Pontons, close to a small cliff, with a penetrable joint of -4m maximum depth.

Characteristics

Location

On the T-2441 road in Pontons, above km 12, take the track that initially heads towards the farmhouse of Ca Soler de Roset. Once past the farmhouse we will head SW along the track towards Cal Pigó and Cal Benet; about 290 m before reaching the farmhouses, take the track on the right that climbs up to the telecommunications antennas. Shortly before reaching the antennas, we will follow a less marked path for about 390 m to the left of them, which will allow us to pass them and will place us on the crest of the mountain of Ferreres, where the cavity is found very close to the small cliff.
