Mountain of saline and other waste created between 1945 and 1977.
The La Botjosa salt dump measures 775 meters long by an average width of 150 meters, occupies 13.5 Ha and its content is estimated at around 4 million tons of salty waste.

Since the start of the new Cogulló dump in 1977, the potash mining of Sallent and Balsareny stopped dumping saline waste in La Botjosa. Since then, a considerable portion of the saline residues dumped in the La Botjosa dump has disappeared by dissolution in rainwater and air humidity, as evidenced by the geomorphologies in lapiaz on the slopes and dame coiffée where an object acting as an umbrella has protected the salt below
