Characteristics

Location

From the Pla del Marge del Moro, you must descend along the track that links up with the main track between Begues and the Mas de les Fonts. On reaching the confluence of the track with the first torrent, we will go up this torrent until reaching the first torrent that we find on the hydrographic left, which we will go up 20 metres along the hydrographic right. The cavity is located on a rocky spur very hidden by vegetation.

Description

Morphology

The small entrance half hidden among rocks gives way to a sloping 3-metre drop, down to a ledge that skirts a second 4-metre drop with a bell-shaped structure and divided in two by a rock partition. The base is the start of a comfortable but short descending gallery covered with blocks. At the end there is a low passage on the left that connects with a small chamber with formation.

The partition that divides the pit also divides the base, so this sector presents another gallery that ends in a crawlway that gives access to an elongated small chamber with numerous flowstones on the walls.
