Characteristics

Location

Driving along the C-153 road, once we reach the coll de Condreu, we will turn off in the direction of the santuari de la Mare de Déu del Far. On reaching the ermita de Santa Anna, we will continue along the road for a further 285 metres, where a track leaves from the right which we will follow until we reach a cultivated field; we will cross it to the end and follow the path until we reach the next cultivated field. At this point and to the right of this field, right at the edge of the forest, is the Forat del Far, after a distance of 250 metres from the road.

We will follow the path that crosses the field and that, after a small area of trees, leads to a new field; immediately on the right we will find the Forat de les Bardisses and 8 metres further on we find the Forat dels Trabucaires. We have covered 96 metres from the Forat del Far, and 346 metres from the road.
