Bora Número 3 del Borró

Petita cova en guixos a Sales de Llierca

Sales de Llierca • Garrotxa20m2m

Small gypsum cave in Sales de Llierca, with a gallery of good dimensions blocked at 20 metres by sediments.

Characteristics

Location

From Tortellà we will go to the centre of Sales de Llierca where the town hall is located; once past it and the church, which are on our left, we will continue along the second track we find on the right, this is just where the asphalt ends (data from 2009) and which in 500 metres leads to can Tomet. The track makes a left-hand bend and descends towards the Borró river, we cross it and at 60 metres we find a path on the right which we ignore and 40 metres further on we find an esplanade on the right where vehicles can be left. From this point a small path starts that leads to the aforementioned path and which in 150 metres places us at the bed of the Borró river; we will follow it downstream and at 50 metres we find some high walls on the left. When these walls begin to diminish, after 130 metres from the start of the route along the river and on the right-hand side we see the can Bellús farmhouse, a small path on the left going uphill leads us in a few metres to the entrance of the Bora de can Bellús.

Description

Morphology

It opens in a wall at the bottom of a depression. It is formed by a gallery of good dimensions that ends blocked at 20 metres by sediments.

Progression

From the mouth of the Bora de can Bellús we can continue downstream; a small path parallel to the river for about 80 metres where on the left the small path climbs until it places us above the depression formed by the Bora no. 2. Following the small path we will reach the depression of the Bora no. 3 and 3 bis, which do not belong to the system.

History

Explored by the GE Badalona and collaborators from other organisations during the years 1993 and 1994.
