Avinyonet del Penedès • Alt Penedès 12m 7m

Small pit 7 m deep in Avinyonet del Penedès, discovered in June 1995 by M. Vigorós, A. Díaz and M. Fernández (EG Santfeliuenc).

Characteristics

Location

From the road from Olesa de Bonesvalls to Avinyonet del Penedès one must access the Can Mitjans residential development and from there follow the track that, passing through the serra dels Carlins, leads to Santa Susanna. Once the descent has begun (there is a barrier), one must take the tracks that branch off to the right. Some croplands are passed and one turns to the bed of the riera de Begues. One continues along a wide path going around the meander of Trencaportells until reaching the S of the collet formed by the meander.

If one continues downstream about 80 metres and climbs the right slope about 10 metres of elevation gain, one would find the entrance of the Avenc dels Mussols. According to its discoverers, the Avenc Oeohe should be found in the same arrangement as that of the Mussols, but 50 metres further S.

Approximate coordinates. Despite the search made some time ago by Lluís Muntan (GES-CMB), it could not be located.
