A 20-metre-deep pit in the serra del Boix (el Perelló), at the Morral de Cabrafeixet, near the Punta de les Moles. A cavity not catalogued speleologically but long known to hikers.

Characteristics

Location

From el Perelló towards Rasquera along the TV-3022 road at km. 7.25, turn left onto the asphalted track for 1.9 kilometres, where we will turn right until reaching a new turn-off where we will have covered 2.67 kilometres from the road. From here we have two options; if the track on the right is open, we will soon pass the corral de Nacres, which we will leave on the right, and after 2 kilometres we will reach the bassa del Falcó or del Morral, where we will leave the vehicle. We will follow a path in a S direction until finding the path that climbs up from the parking area of the cova de Cabrafeixet. We will continue climbing to the right up to the col at the Morral de Cabrafeixet, where we will have covered 1.12 kilometres from the vehicle and overcome a height difference of 158 metres. We will follow the path on the left for 58 metres, turning off again to the left and continue 135 metres more until reaching the pit.

If we position ourselves again at the aforementioned turn-off, if the track on the right is closed, then we will continue to the left for 1.5 kilometres to the parking area of the cova de Cabrafeixet in the barranc de les Nines. From the end of the parking area two paths set off, the one on the right goes to the cova de Cabrafeixet, we must take the one on the left which will take us to the top of the col at the Morral de Cabrafeixet after covering 1.92 kilometres and overcoming a height difference of 349 metres. From here we will follow the same route indicated above to the cavity.

Description

Morphology

Interesting pit at the Morral de Cabrafeixet, beside the Punta de les Moles. It appears to be a small cave opened in a hole of 8 metres, then continues through some high windows that must be climbed to access a narrower and smaller shaft on the S side, and another more spectacular one on the N side.

History

A cavity that does not appear catalogued speleologically but long known to hikers; the only reference we have of speleological exploration is that carried out by members of the UEC-Tortosa approximately between the years 2011-2012.
