Balma del Pont Nou

Petita concavitat en el travertins del riu Brugent (Sant Feliu de Pallerols)

Sant Feliu de Pallerols • Garrotxa5m0

A small hollow in the travertines of the Brugent river, in Sant Feliu de Pallerols.

Characteristics

Location

Taking the C-63 road, before reaching Sant Feliu de Pallerols, specifically at kilometre 56'700 metres, we will turn left, where the start of the track leading to the mas de la Torre is. From the bridge (Pont Nou) one must go down to the riverbed and, a few metres further on, on the right-hand slope, the cavity is found. About 200 metres further down we would find the well-known Cova de la Torre and the Gorg de la Mola.

Description

Morphology

A rock shelter about 6 metres high by 4 metres wide. It is not very deep and appears to have originated from a landslide of large blocks of tosca.

History

The first reference is given to us by a group of nature enthusiasts from Sant Feliu de Pallerols who visit it in February 1992 and make a sketch and photographs.

In July 2013 it is visited by members of the Espeleodijous who, unaware of the previous visit, name it Cova de la Torre 2.
