Description
Morphology
Its small entrance allows us to enter a very narrow 3 metre shaft, at the bottom of which a small hole can be seen; once this has been passed with considerable difficulty, we can stand upright again, while observing at the upper end of the small chamber a little hole that communicates with the outside, but which is totally impenetrable.
Cavity excavated in a stretch of Muschelkalk limestone, while observing in the upper stretch some forms of erosion.
History
This small cavity was discovered and explored in 1981 by members of the SIS del CE Terrassa.
