Forat de l'Alba

Petita cova a Collbató (Montserrat)

Collbató • Baix Llobregat4m1m

Small descending cave in Collbató, Montserrat, formed by successive coils that become impassable due to sediment.

Characteristics

Location

We will set out from Carrer Drecera de Collbató, heading north along a forest track that soon passes beside the water tanks and continues toward the Drecera de Fra Garí. Once we have covered about 160m, we will take the path that branches off to the right beneath a power line; we will follow this new path, which gradually takes the direction toward the Codolosa for another 150m; at this point the first cliffs of the Codolosa area will be visible to the N. We will leave the path and ascend among terraced plots to the base of the cliffs in about 50m; the cave entrance is located at the base of the cliffs beside the Alba climbing route.
