Caratteristiche

Località

On the western side of the village of Sant Feliu de Pallerols (Garrotxa), although by a few metres the holes lie within the municipality of Rupit i Pruit (Osona).

The Punxa Filosa area, as it is known by the local people (according to the ICGC: Puig Safilosa), has a flat slope with slight undulations, chaotic in appearance due to the large quantity of blocks, within a beech forest and slightly inclined above the clot de l'Infern.

Among the multitude of blocks there are numerous entrances of all kinds of different concavities, of which the six that a priori seemed most interesting and accessible were explored. All of them located very close to one another.

Access is by the C-153 road from Rupit to the coll de Condreu, shortly after passing kilometre 35 and at the end of the straight where a large “estelada” is painted, we will turn left to take a track that climbs parallel to the riera de Papalló in a first stretch, and continue climbing parallel along the torrent de Coma-Serra in a second stretch, we will always follow the main track until coming out at a flat area with cultivated fields, we will follow this until reaching a crossroads where an electricity line passes, we will turn left until finding a fence on the track that must be crossed and a little further on we will pass by the estany del Coll which is on our left of the track; we will continue along this until reaching a crossroads, we will continue to the right for 1.1 metres until reaching a new crossroads, we will continue to the left for 200 metres until another crossroads, this time we will continue to the right for 180 metres until reaching the last crossroads, where we will continue to the right for about 125 metres until the track ends.
