Geocache Description:

This is the first cache placed in the county (comarca) of El Gironés. It is placed in the Gavarres range at 169 meters of altitude. It is behind a cork tree, the emblematic tree of these mountains.

The easiest access is from the village of Madremanya, about 20 Km from Girona.

You have to leave the road at the point 41º 59.271N 2º 57.357E and take a paved road to the right if you are travelling to the SE. 300 meters ahead the asphalt ends and the road gets sometimes a little bumpy (it's better to ride a 4x4 vehicle).

At 900 meters there is a bifurcation. You have to take the path to the right, leaving the path with the name MORATELL to your left. At 2.4 Km there is another bifurcation. You can take any of the two, but the right one is better. Finally, 3,1 Km from the road there is a bridge over the river Rissec. You can leave the car there.

Then you will find 3 paths. The left one (bearing 230ºSW)takes you in 10 minutes to the spring Font Picant de Madremanya; the center one goes for several Km to the village of Montnegre in the heart of the Gavarres and the right one takes you to the cache site.
