Characteristics

Location

On the road from Vilanova de Meià to Pas Nou, we will turn left in the direction of the ermita de Meià. When the track turns left as it crosses the first ravine, which is the Font Blanca (in old maps it appeared as barranc de Paùs), we will go up the ravine about fifty metres, where we will find the fissure on the hydrographic left of the ravine.
