Foradada in the bosc del Quer, near Montmajor, Montagut i Oix.

Characteristics

Location

The Foradada is located in the bosc del Quer, near Montmajor, Montagut i Oix.

To get there, we will leave the vehicle at the hostal del Bac and go to the house of the Coromina. Following the same path we will go up to the next masia, Can Biel; just at the bend that would enter the house a small path starts that will take us to the summit of Montmajor, passing first the coll del Reverter and following the small path in an E direction. We will need to reach the collada de la Costa. Continuing the small path uphill and in a NE direction, we will reach coll de Galters and, continuing again towards the NE, we will reach the summit of Montmajor. Once at the summit, we will have to go to the coll de la Bassa and head in a NW direction along the path that would take us to the font de Montmajor. Once we begin to make out the cliffs that will remain on our left (South), we will have to follow the walls in a W-SW direction, passing by the cova de l'Esquella. We will have to keep following the cliff until we find ourselves below the Foradada de l'Ull de Montmajor; about 50 metres further on we will find a small balma and an old path that climbs up to the upper part of the walls. We will need to go up through the middle of the forest and go back above the cliff in an E-NE direction, until we find the upper part of the l'Ull de Montmajor and its small cave.
