Caratteristiche

Località

From the cartoixa d'Escaladei you must take the camí dels Cartoixans until you reach the collet de l'Hort. From here a path sets off climbing towards the foot of lo Cingle, overcoming a height difference of some 130 m. When the path turns to the left, crossing the barranc de Sant Antoni to go towards the Grau de l'Escletxa, right in front, at the base of the cingle, this well-known rock shelter is found.

We do not have a survey, so we do not know the exact dimensions.
