Characteristics

Location

Tiny cavity in the serra de Carreu (Abella de la Conca).

From Abella de la Conca we will cross the village and follow the camí de les Bordes, passing through els Serrats and Casa Toà; from here we must leave the vehicle and continue to the collada del Trumfo. From the collada we must follow the right-hand slope without losing height for 380 metres, where we will find a scree slope that we will climb for about 25 metres until reaching a small rocky wall; on the left-hand side of the wall there is a passage to climb, and in the middle of this passage the mouth of the cavity opens.

This is one of several accesses for climbing the puig de Gallinova.
