Location

We will leave Monistrol de Calders along the Coma road; the path follows the course of the riera de la Golarda. After 1.5 km we will turn right to take the track that goes from Monistrol de Calders to Marfà. The path climbs parallel to the torrent de Colljova (in the ICGC: Colljovà). We will come to a turn-off to the right; we will continue along the main track and, about 100 m from the turn-off, we will find a small crag on the left. Here we will see the forat de Colljova half covered by vegetation.
