Location

From Organyà along the C-14 road towards la Seu, shortly before km. 166 (near Hostal Nou) a track leaves to the left (camí de Fontanella) which with some spectacular zigzags climbs towards the summit of the Cogulló (TV repeaters). Long before arriving, at the coll d'Ares, the track branches off towards the bordes d'Ares and continues towards some other bordes (Can Temate de Callés) and continues towards the S, almost right at the cliff edge of the upper plans of the Serra de Prada. The pit is located about 250 metres to the NE of the 1788 spot height (on old maps: 1756), in the area called els Tossals (els Trossals according to the ICC). Approximate coordinates.
