Characteristics

Location

When we enter Gósol coming from Saldes we find a roundabout; we take the second exit towards the campsite and the cemetery; once past these, the track makes a 180º turn and a little further on we find a junction, we follow the right-hand one; after 150 metres we find a new junction and again we follow the right-hand one. We will not leave this track until we reach the coll de Mola, where we leave the main track heading to Tuixén and follow the track (4x4 vehicles) that initially heads S. After a distance of approximately 4.3 kilometres, we reach a valley where we turn again towards the S; from here it is more wheel ruts than track, which we follow for 1350 metres, where we find on the right the path that climbs to the cap del Verd. We will follow the valley in a S direction, which in about 250 metres will bring us to the coll dels Belitres; from there we head SE to the Cap del Prat d'Aubes and from there we will go along the ridge towards the E to the Tres Collets, and from there we head to the Cap d'Urdet. Before reaching it, however, we will have to descend a little to find the entrance, which hangs on the walls of the Cap d'Urdet.
