Avenc de la Roca del Corb

Although Faura i Sans in his Recull (1909) mentions a cavity that he calls Roca del Corb, without any further data, and places it in the area of the Ribera del Segre and in the locality of Corbera (?), we do not believe that it is the same cavity.

The first news we know of is that of a partial incursion towards the end of the 1960s by a group of young people from Peramola.

The first complete exploration took place on 22 November 1970 and those taking part were: Pere Francisco (+), Marina Poch, Cristina Herrando and Alfred Montserrat, members of the Grup Espeleològic Pedraforca (Barcelona), accompanied by Josep Pujol (+), Francesc Bonet (Nino de cal Plujo) and Josep Mª Viladrich, residents of Peramola (3 photographs of this first exploration are included). The survey has remained unpublished until now, 2013.

Sporadically it was explored by other groups. The SIE – CEA visited it in 1971 and around 1977 they made a survey, although with an exaggerated depth (- 66 m). Other members of the SIE visited it again in 1979 and made a more accurate survey.

Toponymy: On some maps it is called Forat de Nerola, although in the village nobody knows it by this name. Currently, on the track when it passes near the cavity, there is a sign that reads Forat del Corb. Nevertheless, we have decided to keep the name determined by its first explorers.
