Characteristics

Location

At the end of carrer Puig d'agulles in Corbera de Llobregat there is a roundabout; beyond it are some cultivated orchards on private property, about 10 metres lower and almost directly below the Restaurant el Mirador is the cavity, covered by vegetation and blocks. This point already belongs to the municipality of la Palma de Cervelló. Very approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

The entrance is horizontal and follows a succession of small steps between blocks, until reaching an elongated chamber. Two continuations leave this chamber. The first is on the right, after climbing over a block where there is an inclined pit of -6 metres; a gallery of a few metres begins, gaining depth rapidly until it links up with another perpendicular gallery 5 metres long, which leads to a vertical squeeze of -2 metres. This squeeze gives access to the upper part of a gallery perpendicular to the previous one, of little width and descending, which reaches the maximum height of the cavity at -19 metres. Through the second continuation one enters a wide gallery with an inclined section 12 metres long and a floor covered with blocks.

History

Discovered by the former GEIS de Corbera in 1975, the GERS de l'AEM surveyed it in November 1981.
