Balma de la Diablera-1

Balma al torrent de la Diablera (Montserrat)

Bruc, El • Anoia8m0

Balma at the torrent de la Diablera, in Montserrat, 14 m wide and 8 m deep, unrecorded in the catalogues until 2023.

Characteristics

Location

Located at the torrent de la Diablera, in Montserrat. From the collet de Guirló, leave the main path that leads to la Roca Foradada to take on the right the wide path that goes from the collet to el Bruc. The path descends along the head of the torrent de la Diablera, left bank, and after 5 minutes the megalith of the same name is already visible, located a few metres from the path to the right, indicated by an information sign.

If from the megalith of the Diablera one follows the main path in the direction of el Bruc, after about 100 m it describes a sharp bend to the right. Right at it one must leave the path to climb the slope and find a trace of a faint track, somewhat overgrown, that leads to the balma de la Diablera-1.

Description

Morphology

Balma at the foot of a cliff, 14 m wide and 8 m deep. Slightly ascending clayey ground.

Hydrology

Towards the centre of the ceiling there is a drip that in rainy periods can be very abundant, judging by the channel it has excavated in the ground and which, on reaching the outside, forms a pool.

Other details

From the ceiling hangs a clump of maidenhair fern (Adiantum capillus-veneris) taking advantage of the humidity at the point where the drip originates.

History

Cavity unrecorded in the speleological catalogues until the visit of Ferran Cardona (ECMB) in August 2023.
