Small pit with a 12-metre drop in the municipality of Vallirana, first explored by GEFOMA in 1976.

Characteristics

Location

From the track that goes from the ruins of Can Ardenya in the direction of the creu d'Ardenya, shortly after we find a turn-off to the left; follow it until reaching a new turn-off, this time taking the one on the right. A little further on the track makes a sharp turn to the right; at this same point and above the path is the cavity.
