Località

From Riells del Fai we will follow the carrer de Vallderrós to the bridge that crosses the torrent de Llòbrega; once across, we will continue to the right along a track to the village water tank. Behind the tank a small path begins that must be followed to the access to the salt de Vallderrós.

Descrizione

Morfologia

A fossil spring 12 metres long, with generous dimensions of 6 metres wide and 2 to 7 metres high.

Progressione

Below the cova de Vallderrós a small path leads to the Salt de Vallderrós; after the plunge pool the path climbs to the wall and then descends again. Here we find the narrowest and most exposed stretch of the path, we cross a small cave by crawling (the tunnel), and on coming out we have the cave in view (depending on the group, it may be necessary to rig a handline on this stretch).

Storia

Known since time immemorial.

It has always been located in the torrent de Bertí; according to the ICGC it would be the torrent del Traver.
