Olesa de Bonesvalls • Alt Penedès80m60m

A pit about 60 metres deep at the Fondo de Matabous, Olesa de Bonesvalls, explored in 1966 and extended towards -60 metres by the SES del GER around 2010.

Characteristics

Location

From Olesa de Bonesvalls, we will go up the Fondo de Matabous until we reach the first torrent we find on the left in the direction of travel, easily located because there is a cabin there. We will go up this torrent about 125 metres, where we will find the mouth of the cavity on the left hydrographic bank.

Description

Morphology

The mouth of the cavity gives access to a pit -18 metres deep, which widens as we reach the base; this is found with a slight slope that leads us to a second pit that places us at -26 metres deep.

At this point, the Serrano brothers of the SES del GER carried out a clearance that allows access to a small room and to continue immediately with new narrow passages not suitable for anatomies of normal constitution. According to the information obtained, the cavity would reach -60 metres of drop, although we have no record of the existence of any survey of the new section.

History

Explored for the first time in 1966 by members of the ERE de l'AEC.

Around 2010 the SES del GER carried out a series of clearances at the bottom of the cavity that, by means of a series of inhuman passages, allowed them to reach -60 metres deep.
