Characteristics

Location

Coming from Camprodon along the C-38, shortly before reaching Molló, and after kilometre 17, we will take a cemented track on our right that descends steeply towards El Riberal, we will reach the Ritort river and head to the left without crossing the can Plaga bridge. The track runs parallel to the river, we pass the water intake and the cal Coronel farmhouse. We will reach the old bridge of the moli de cal Fumat, we will leave the cars after crossing the Ritort (1.35 kilometres from the road). We will cross the bridge and continue almost without a path along the right hydrographic bank upstream, we pass a field and find a small path where there is an electric wire for livestock and which leads to the Bauma del Borrasser, it must not be crossed, we must follow the path uphill until reaching a pasture meadow, in a N direction in the middle of the meadow there is an electricity pylon, we will go to this and continue in a N direction until the end of the meadow, here we will find a steep slope that will take us to the entrance of the Bauma.

Description

Morphology

An 8x2.5 metre entrance gives access to a wide gallery 12 metres deep, at the end we find a narrow, low passage that ends a couple of metres further on. On the SW side we find two overlapping galleries that end after a few metres, as well as a crawlway that reconnects to the main gallery.

On the SE side and near the entrance we find a descending gallery that, through a narrow passage, exits to the outside.

History

Known locally since olden times, Nil Hosta Ferrer and Tanit Sanmartin located it in early 2025.
