From the plaça Major de la Febró we will head W along carrer del Canyeret and follow the track parallel to the barranc de la Foradada; at 350 metres we will cross the barranc de l'Avellanar and leave the track before reaching a farm that has prohibited passage. We will follow a path that passes along the bed of the barranc de la Foradada and a little further on we will rejoin the track; after 1.1 kilometres from the plaça Major we find the Tosca dels Escanals on the left.

Description

Morphology

Small cavity developed in the space left behind the flowstone resulting from the contribution of travertines.

Hydrology

The waters come from two small ravines, the Canals del Mas d'en Bella, which join shortly before forming the waterfall of the Tosca dels Escanals.

History

In the past, the waters of the Canals del Mas d'en Bella were conducted to the other bank of the Siurana by means of a hollowed-out trunk, in order to feed the collection point of the nearby Molí de la Febró.
