Location

From Camprodon we will follow the C-38 road towards Molló; after kilometre 13, we will turn right onto the GIV-5223 road towards Rocabruna and Beget. Shortly before kilometre 4, a path on the left takes us to can Bernat Pelut. The cavity is located to the E and above the house, on the upper plateau of the Roca Sabeia, at the top of the second crag, where a long fissure parallel to the cliff opens, inside which we find pit no. 1; pit no. 2 is located 15 metres to the E of that one.

Description

Morphology

The entrance is clearly visible, since a tree grows out of it; its dimensions are approximately 1X2 metres.

Progression

The entrance gives way after a 2-metre drop to a descending gallery, which at the final part is semi-obstructed by the blocks wedged in it.
