Location

To locate ourselves in the area of the Planes del Forn del Vidre, from Ulldemolins we must go to the hermitage of Sant Antoni, from where a path descends to the Cadolles Fondes; from this spot a trail follows along the riverbank and we must follow it until reaching the Bisbe, from where a path sets off to the left that climbs up the mountain range until reaching the Planes del Forn del Vidre. The approximate time is 50 minutes. If we position ourselves at l'Avenc 1 de les Planes del Forn del Vidre, we must climb turning left about twenty metres to find the entrance. Fairly approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

Small pit 17 m deep. By a 12-metre drop one reaches the bottom of the gallery, which can still be descended a little further until reaching a small chamber where the point of maximum depth is found. In the opposite direction and climbing up among blocks, one can reach almost surface level, since at the highest point of the ceiling we find abundant roots.

History

Explored by the GELL around 1996.
