The cave can only be reached from the lower footpath. You have to hike back the same way.

To enter Avencs, you will find a pile of stones where you have to go down. Easier access to enter 🌿

Natural crevice called Avencs de la Febro, you need good shoes with heels and, if possible, a headlamp or flashlight. They are cracks 30 meters deep, 300 meters long and 8 meters wide that are just a step away from La Mussara. However, they are hidden by vegetation. Because yes, there are many stories of friends and acquaintances who have had to turn around because they have not been able to find their entrance. That's the fun! Hahaha Els Avencs de La Febró have offered shelter to all types of people. For example, they served as a hiding place for the smuggler Josep Ferrer i Grau and General Prim. Yes, I am talking about Juan Prim i Prats, who, apart from being originally from Reus, would come to occupy the position of President of the Government of Spain in 1869.

Avencs de la Febró is a popular hiking destination. It's a beautiful narrow canyon that the trail goes through. Definitely worth a visit, but watch your step if you're running. Maybe, slow down and take a photo or two.

El Tossal de la Baltasana, better known as the Tower by the people of Prades. At the top there is a geodesic vertex, a weather vane and also a small lookout hut with signals, repeaters and a web cam/weather station. From the geodesic vertex, protruding a little from the forest, you will contemplate the views of the surroundings: you will see the village of Prades below and, beyond, the Montsant mountain range. Other peaks in the Tarragona regions can also be seen, such as the Mola de Colldejou or the antennas of the Mussara. In the background, on clear days, you might be able to see the Massif del Port. On the other side, if the sky is clear you can see the Pyrenees, from Puigmal to Mont Perdut. This peak is on the list of the 100 peaks of the F.E.E.C.

This balm is a unique place, perhaps the most unique in the valley and of all the Prades mountains. The cave in the form of a Romanesque apse, the fifty-meter waterfall and the small lake that forms in front make up an area of great uniqueness and beauty. The waterfall is only present during the rainy season, because the ravine originates above the Montllats and has a short route. For those with nimble legs, and in the dry season when the ravine is not wide, it is recommended to get there by going along the ravine that leads to the place from the source of the Llódriga; a course full of steps and a maze of stone blocks make for an interesting exercise; those who do not know how to climb better refrain. You go up there along a well-marked path that starts next to the source of the Llódriga. When you reach the Morral de la Devesa, from below the cliff you can see, opposite, the Pixera. Put on the telephoto lens and you'll get the best possible shot of the waterfall. The cave is at the bottom of the ravine, a little higher, and also has a very good perspective. If you want to see the cave with the water pouring down from above, make sure it has rained recently. If it doesn't leak, you'll like it too.
