Description
Morphology
Collapse fissure 8 metres deep. The entrance could have been opened by the machines when repairing the track that leads to Cal Camadall Nou. Once inside one reaches a chamber, where the rock can be seen very shattered, some of it in a rather delicate situation, hanging from the ceiling with no kind of security. At the back of this chamber there is an access that leads to a lower level, a gallery in the form of a narrow crevice that turns almost ninety degrees and has an ascending slope full of remains of stones fallen from the ceiling.
History
The first reference we have of this cavity is the exploration carried out by the GET of the AE Talaia in the year 2000.
Bio
Some small colony of bats can be observed.
