Location

Shortly before reaching the small village of Llaberia along the TV-3111 road, there is the Creu de Llaberia. From here, take a path that leaves to the left (toward the west) and after a few metres forks. Follow the left-hand one and about 200 metres further on, beside the path, is the pit.

Approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

Tiny 5 m deep pit. By means of a 3 metre drop one enters a single gallery, short and which toward the bottom becomes progressively narrower until it becomes impenetrable.

Progression

By means of a 3 metre drop one enters a single gallery, short and which toward the bottom becomes progressively narrower until it becomes impenetrable.

Other details

It seems that the cavity was opened to the exterior during the construction work on the track. Its genesis is conditioned by a displacement of the strata.

History

The first exploration was carried out by members of the GEP – AE Pedraforca (Barcelona) on 3 March 1974.
