Località

To reach the cave, leave Vilanova de Meià along the L-913 road. After travelling one and a half kilometres, at the height of the font de l'Hedra, we will cross the riu Boix and follow the river skirting the rock cliffs from a very low elevation and then climb up to the cave over the rock. In total it is about 20 minutes on foot from the font. The entrance can be seen from the road. Approximate coordinates.
