Location

Leaving La Guardia d'Ares in the direction of Taús we will take the third turning on the left, descending to the Borda de “La Feu”. We will cross the barranc dels Prats over an old bridge and continue along the main track until reaching the col; at this point, when the track begins to descend, we will take a track on the left that leads us into the “Plan Fornesa”, a flat surface with a small elevation. We will cross the Pla in a north-easterly direction as far as the cliff that overlooks the barranc dels Prats. About 3 metres below the start of the cliff the mouth of the cavity opens.

Description

Morphology

Entrance in the form of a cave with a descending gallery. Halfway along this gallery we find a small branch to the left with no continuation. At the end of the gallery a vertical opens up that places us on a base where, towards the west, the main gallery continues in the form of a joint, among blocks embedded in the walls; while towards the south a small step places us at the point of maximum depth at -22 metres.
