Description
Morphology
We find a large entrance of 6x3 metres that descends 6 metres down a steeply inclined ramp full of moss. To the right, after a steep climb, the cavity ends after about 4 metres of passage. To the left we descend a couple of metres until reaching a gallery that acts as a sink for rainwater. This gallery, 1.50 metres long, is obstructed with blocks, but it coincides topographically with a gallery in the upper part of la Cova de Bellabriga.
Hydrology
The gallery, 1.50 metres long, acts as a sink for rainwater.
History
In 1969, the Grup Espeleològic Pedraforca began a series of explorations, in which they surveyed and named the different cavities of the surroundings, respecting the already known la Cova de Bellabriga.
In 2010 the Grup Espeleològic de Badalona explored and surveyed this group of cavities again, changing the name of some of them, and specifically in the case of the avenc de la Bellabriga, we are not clear about the name they ended up giving it, since in the article published in Exploracions (20), they rename it Forat de les Baumes, while in the survey they publish it appears under the name Forat Petit de les Baumes. The coordinates that appear in the aforementioned article actually correspond to the Avenc Camprodon (Forat Gran de les Baumes).
