Avenc Nº1 de la Boixeda

Avenc de 16 metres de fondària a Beget (Camprodon).

Camprodon • Ripollès23m16m

A 16-metre-deep pit in Beget (Camprodon), with an elongated entrance that leads to a -13-metre shaft and a descending gallery.

Characteristics

Location

By the C-38 road from Camprodon to Molló, once past the Els Solans campsite, we will find a turn-off to the right (GIV-5223) that will take us to the coll de la Boixeda. From there we will head to the rear part of the house of la Boixeda, to head towards the Puig de Sant Bernabé, on its S slope and not far from the house, at the foot of a wall, we will find the entrance of the cavity.

This cavity is located in an area full of cracks, forming part of a group of 10 pits very close to each other. Number 1 in particular is located astride the municipalities of Molló and Camprodon; it is likely that it is in Molló but we do not have absolute certainty. Because the rest of the cavities are located in Beget (Camprodon), we believe that given the doubt that has arisen, it is more appropriate to place it together with the rest of the cavities.

Morphology

A large entrance elongated in the direction of the crack leads to a -13-metre shaft, at the bottom of which a descending gallery begins towards the S. Along the cavity we find blocks wedged in the walls and the ceiling.

History

The first news we have of this group of cavities (except no. 9) is that given by members of the ERE – CEC who explored them in 1972.
