Avenc de l'Obaga

Petit avenc de 7 m. de fondària a la zona de la Bartra (Muntanyes de Prades)

Montblanc • Conca de Barberà15m7m

Small pit 7 m deep in the la Bartra area, in the Muntanyes de Prades.

Characteristics

Location

From Montblanc we take the TV-7042 road to the small village of Rojals and from there the track heading towards the hamlet of la Bartra. When the track crosses the GR-171, continue to the nearby refugi de Cogullons and from there follow the path towards la Bartra, passing by the font del Grèvol and continuing to the font Freda. Two hundred metres further on we will see a cliff on the right, which must be climbed on the left up to the upper part; close to the cliff is the Avenc del Ginebró. We will continue 400 metres in a SE direction along the top of the ridge until we find the notable entrance of the Avenc de l'Obaga.

Approximate coordinates and not in the least reliable.

Description

Morphology

It is a collapse fissure that forms a ramp gallery with a steep drop and about 15 metres in length. At the bottom, the blocks close the joint, and in the lowest part there is a narrow vertical squeeze that could not be continued.

It is probably the same fissure that forms the neighbouring Avenc del Ginebró and that continues along the whole ridge, being blocked by blocks in different sections.
