Description
Morphology
It is about 25 metres long, 6 metres deep by 4 metres average height. It has a large fallen block situated in the middle. The ceiling is quite smoked, black in colour.
Hydrology
In the back wall, further east, the water filters through and has formed a crack that rises upwards and weakens the ceiling.
Other details
It has a great view over the riu Aigua de Valls. Right below we can see the pantà and the balma dels Printers. There is abundant vegetation with some shade; on the ground there is quite a lot of vegetation towards the side of the cingle, blocking visibility. On the west side of the balma, we see the great wall of the cingle de Sant Llobre.
History
Known since ancient times in the area.
