A pit 9.5 metres deep at Pla de Sots, Begues, dug open and explored in 1999 by the Espeleo Grup L'Hospitalet.

Characteristics

Location

We will position ourselves on the paved road heading to the Basses Roses electrical station, at the point where the track leading to the avenc Gran de les Alzines branches off to the right. From this point we will follow the road for about 30 metres, where on the left a wide path leads to the electrical towers of Pla del Cirerer; we will position ourselves at the base of the electrical tower located furthest to the N, and from here we will continue in direction N27O for 67 metres, where we will find the mouth of the cavity beside a sparse Bruc.

Another way to reach it is from the same crossroads mentioned at the beginning: one must follow the road for 130 metres and then turn left looking for a very visible rocky outcrop; the cavity is 90 metres from the road.
