Location

On the N-340, once past the font del Lledoner, we find a track on the right that after 150 metres places us in front of a lime kiln. We follow the track for a few metres and from the left another track branches off towards some quarries. You have to go as far as the interior of the second quarry, where on the left slope we will find the mouth of the cavity.

Description

Morphology

A window in the left wall of the quarry, at the upper part of the slope, places us right in the middle of a kind of highly decorated chamber where one can descend 3 metres and climb 4.

Speleothems

The chamber is highly decorated.

History

Cavity first mentioned by GEFOMA in 1981, but judging by the inscriptions found by them, it had already been visited previously by the CEV.
