Caratteristiche

Località

Along the N-260 road, heading from Bellver de Cerdanya to Puigcerdà, shortly before kilometre 191 there is the turn-off for the GIV-4032 road that leads to the small village of Olopte. From the entrance to the village, follow carrer Església until reaching carrer A; on the left a street descends and soon becomes a path until reaching a bridge that crosses the Duran river; we will follow the path downstream for about 180 metres. The cavity is located 70 metres N of the Cova Gran, halfway between it and cave B, about 30 metres above the path that runs parallel to the Duran river on the right hydrographic bank, on a rocky spur at the foot of some climbing routes.

Storia

Although the caves of Olopte have been known since time immemorial and are mentioned very briefly in some hiking and archaeological works, it is not until the campaigns that members of the ERE – CEC carried out systematically from 1966 to 1970 in different areas of Cerdanya that they were widely publicised.

The caves of Olopte have been the subject of various archaeological campaigns in which diverse materials have been collected from the Neolithic, Bronze Age and up to medieval times.
