Characteristics

Location

From the Casino de Burés in Castellbell i El Vilar, we follow along Carrer Camí de Burés; after 295 metres, already outside the cluster of houses, at this point on the paved track we will find a widening both to the right and to the left; on the right-hand side there is a small rock slope, and climbing over it we come out on some large rock blocks from which we have a panoramic view of the whole depression, on the other side of which are the Forats del Terratrèmol; at the base of these blocks opens the mouth of the pit. We can also reach it from the esplanade of the aforementioned widening, making our way through the vegetation and brambles; the hole is only six metres away.

Through a small entrance shaft that is easily down-climbed, one enters a gallery with a slight slope and in a N direction. At the end the gallery turns to the left, where it remains closed. In the opposite direction, there is another gallery of smaller dimensions and ascending that remains closed after a few metres.
