Avenc Nou de la Canal de la Revella

Petit i estret avenc de 8 m. de fondària a Sant Llorenç del Munt

Sant Llorenç Savall • Vallès Occidental12m8m

Small, narrow 8 m deep pit in Sant Llorenç del Munt, rediscovered and surveyed in 1981 by members of SIS – CE Terrassa.

Characteristics

Location

It can be reached by following the same itinerary as for going to the avenc de la Canal de la Revella, or from the opposite side of the mountain. Leaving the Marquet de la Roca toward coll Gavatx and climbing toward the Canal de la Revella, and before reaching the Avenc de la Canal de la Revella, turn right (toward the N), heading for a ridge that separates the Canal de Tanca and the Canal de la Revella. We will follow it until we reach a vertical wall below us that can be descended by a gully on the right; at the foot of this wall we will continue to some holm oaks 15 metres below, where the pit is found.

Complicated location for a pit of so little interest.

Description

Morphology

The entrance is inclined and, making a one-metre jump, we can enter the cavity. At one end we find a drop that descends 1.5 metres, while on the opposite side the floor is inclined and leads us to a narrow shaft 25 centimetres wide and 6.5 metres deep. At the bottom it widens, reaching 30 centimetres wide!. The ends of the lower floor are very narrow and do not allow continuing in any direction.

History

Briefly noted by members of GES – CMB who must have found it during one of the many visits to the nearby Avenc de la Canal de la Revella.

Rediscovered and surveyed in 1981 by members of SIS – CE Terrassa.
