Characteristics

Location

At l'Hospitalet de l'Infant, going along the N-340 road towards Castelló, on reaching kilometre 1128.44, just past the hotel Villaclara and right next to it, an asphalted track comes off which immediately crosses a bridge over the railway line; you must keep right and pass through a tunnel under the AP7 motorway, then keep left and pass through another tunnel under the A7 dual carriageway. From here you must follow the track of the Camí Vell de l'Aigualcoll for 950 metres, at which point we will park the vehicle and follow a signposted path along the barranc del Forat Negre for 375 metres until reaching the cave.
