Characteristics

Location

From Vimbodí we will follow the TV-7004 road towards Vallclara. On reaching kilometre 19.6 we will turn right and follow the track that passes by the Mas de la Cova dels Foresos. After covering 3.25 kilometres along the main track, which in case of doubt must always be followed to the left, on reaching this point we will turn left and continue along the downhill track; after a couple of zigzags, after 580 metres we will leave the vehicle and continue to the left for about 50 metres to the hazelnut fields. From here we will continue to the right along the side of the fields for 115 metres, where we will find La Cova. From here we will cross the hazelnut terrace to the other side of the valley, on the E side, about 38 metres away, where we will find the cliff face where the hole is.
