Gavà • Baix Llobregat 35m 10m

Small pit 10 m deep in Garraf (Gavà), with two entrance mouths about 10 metres apart and a developed chemolithogenic process.

Characteristics

Location

Going along the track that from the Campgràs follows the rubbish dump, once past the col that forms at the head of the fondo de l'Infern, take a path on the right marked with cairns (itinerary to go to the avenc de la Sivinota) following the ridge. At first this is flat, shortly afterwards the slope steepens and later becomes flat again. At this point head towards the Bassot de l'Arbre (210º), descending the left slope of the fondo de l'Infern for about 75 metres, until reaching the mouths of the pit, which are about 25 metres above the streambed.

Description

Morphology

It has two entrance mouths about 10 metres from one another. The one situated further NE is the larger and communicates with a small 5-metre shaft that places us on a base about 6 metres in diameter and which, by a steep drop, communicates with the lower level below the shaft of the mouth situated further SW.

Speleothems

The whole cavity presents a developed chemolithogenic process in an advanced state of decalcification.

History

The first exploration took place in March 1955 by members of the GES del CMB.
