Location

From the warehouse near the ermita de Sant Jordi, we will follow the path that leaves from behind it in a westerly direction; after passing the avenc de la Serp, which is on our right, we will go right in a northerly direction, where in less than 100 metres we will find a doline. The entrance of the pit is on the south side and on the edge of this doline.

Description

Morphology

A narrow entrance that at certain times of the year blows strong air due to a cul-de-sac effect, with a 10-metre shaft, places us in a room of moderate dimensions with progressions on different sides. On the east side we can see the lower part of the doline next to the cavity. On the other side, following the upper part of a passage, it leads us to a room with a low ceiling and a narrow shaft towards the continuation of the cavity, where we find a diaclase with two directions until reaching some passages too narrow to continue.
