Characteristics

Location

The forest of la Lleberida lies on a spur above a tributary ravine to the Coma Negra. To ascend it, take the path that leaves from the Tres Pins restaurant in Margalef and crosses the Sant Salvador ravine. After some cultivated terraces, it climbs back up until it changes slope. The well-marked path continues deep into the valley of the Coma Negra. After passing a slippery stretch, it climbs steeply again. Here, before the first bend, a very faint trail leaves beside a charcoal kiln and descends right to the thalweg of a dry gully, then gains height up to a scree slope with no vegetation. From here you must continue to the left, trying to follow the faint trail through the dense vegetation until it leads to a wide charcoal kiln. The holes of la Lleberida open about fifty metres away, following the plateau as best you can, slanting towards the ravine we came from. Following the same direction we took to go to the Forat de la Lleberida 1, we will have to continue about fifty metres below the upper flat.
