Balma del Pont Vell

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

Sant Feliu de Pallerols • Garrotxa20m7m

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

Characteristics

Location

By the C-63 road, before reaching Sant Feliu de Pallerols, specifically at kilometre 56700 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 go up the river about 50 metres along the right hydrographic slope, where the cavity is found, shortly before reaching the old bridge, currently in ruins.

Description

Morphology

Through a mouth about 4 metres high by 3 wide one enters a spacious chamber, which continues with the floor rising for a few metres.

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 3.
