Characteristics

Location

From la Morera de Montsant, take the path (GR-171) that climbs to the Grau de l'Agnet (according to the ICC: Annet). Before reaching this point and above the vertical of the Turó de les Tres Roques, one passes through a flat area and on the same left-hand side of the path is the entrance of the pit.

Description

Morphology

A set of galleries totaling 262 m of passage. From the entrance, one must descend a drop by “ramonage” and enter a wide joint. From it other branches also originate from orthogonal joints that form a network of galleries. At the opposite end one reaches a wider chamber from which different descending branches emerge and one can reach another entrance, of small dimensions, that communicates with the outside.

Progression

From the entrance, one must descend a drop by “ramonage” and enter a wide joint. At the opposite end one reaches a wider chamber from which different descending branches emerge and one can reach another entrance, of small dimensions, that communicates with the outside.

Other details

According to its explorers (1997), a more careful survey could increase its passage length due to the possible connection with other neighboring fissures.

History

Thanks to information from a female neighbor of Cornudella de Montsant, members of the AAEET de Valls located and explored this cavity, until then unrecorded, during the month of January 1997.
