Begues • Baix Llobregat 20m 15m

Small 15 m deep pit in Begues, with a narrow entrance, two shafts and an impenetrable hole at the bottom.

Characteristics

Location

About 10 metres above the left slope of the stream that runs down parallel to the west of the stream of the avenc de Sant Cristòfol and that a few metres further down join to drain into the Fondo del Bruc. Access is quite complicated due to the absence of nearby paths and its location is difficult.

Description

Morphology

Narrow entrance that gives access to a first small 5 metre shaft and, by means of a short ramp, one reaches another shaft, this one wider and with a drop of 8.5 metres. At one end of its bottom there is a small impenetrable hole through which a stone can be heard falling about 4 or 5 metres further.

History

Discovered, marked and explored by members of the CE Torrellenc (Torrelles de Llobregat) in the mid-1990s, without giving any kind of notice. Rediscovered by members of the SIE – CE Àliga in January 1998 and, after enlarging the entrance, they explored and surveyed it.
