Cornudella de Montsant • Priorat55m27m

Narrow fissure 27 m deep in Cornudella de Montsant (Priorat), discovered in March 1997 by the AAEET de Valls after a dig.

Characteristics

Location

From Cornudella de Montsant we will take the Cova Santa path (GR-174), which we will leave at the turn-off towards Sant Joan del Codolar and continue up to the Grau del Montsant. We will continue onwards and shortly before the right-hand bend that the path makes before reaching the Grau del Tomaset, we will look to our left on a steep slope of the terrain and between two conglomerate cliffs we will see the collapse where the cavity is located.

Description

Morphology

Narrow fissure 27 m deep. At the bottom of a collapse a very narrow shaft of almost 19 metres opens up that connects with the main joint, which can be followed for a little more than 20 metres until it becomes impassable.

Speleothems

The walls are largely covered by a thick wall flow.

Progression

The first metres of the shaft were the object of a dig.

History

Discovered in March 1997 by members of the AAEET de Valls, after a hard dig inside a collapse in the terrain.
