Description
Morphology
A steep slope with a 2 metre drop leads us directly to a 14 metre pit that at no point reaches absolute verticality. At its bottom, the floor forms a chamber of regular proportions with the ground covered by clastic materials.
Speleothems
Formed along a single joint in which some clastic and lithogenic processes have developed.
History
Discovered and explored for the first time by members of the DER – Reddis (Reus) in 1979.
