Caves and potholes in el Montseny

Montseny, declared a UNESCO biosphere reserve, is one of the best-known and most visited massifs in Catalonia, straddling Vallès Oriental and Osona. Its great diversity of environments – from Mediterranean holm oak groves to high-mountain beech forest – corresponds to an equally diverse lithology (granites, schists, some calcareous sectors), which generates cavities of varied characteristics there.

24 cavitats (20 coves i 4 avencs) in el Montseny have been catalogued, mainly in Aiguafreda, Seva and Tagamanent. CARRER DE LA FOU, EL, amb 296 m de recorregut.
