A 22-metre-deep pit in Bellver de Cerdanya, explored between the years 1975-1977.

Characteristics

Location

From Riu de Cerdanya we will follow the track that, passing by the Serrat de les Esposes refuge, heads towards the collet de la Font Freda. About 500 metres before reaching it, at the point known as els Plans de Bor, we will turn right along a track until we reach some flats that open to the left of it, where there is a shepherds' refuge. The cavity opens to the NW of spot height 1634, 5 minutes from the refuge.

Description

Morphology

The entrance, of reduced dimensions, gives way to a steeply sloping ramp that reaches -6 metres of depth, forming a floor of 2.5x1 metre, where a pit opens that reaches -15 metres, giving way to a chamber of 3x1.50 metres. From here we descend through another pit until reaching the maximum level of the cavity, located at -22.30 metres, on a floor of 6x1.50 metres.

Explored by the Grup Geogràfic de Gràcia (previously SEOG and later ECG) and the Grup Espeleològic de Badalona between the years 1975-1977.
