Small cave with a 7 m passage in Sant Llorenç del Munt, with a rather curved conduit that ends in a small widening with two impassable squeezes.

Characteristics

Location

From km 13.5 on the road from Terrassa to Mura, you must go down along a path toward the Roure Escorçoner, as if heading to the avenc de la Canal de les Teixoneres, but you must follow the riera de les Arenes downstream toward the Sot de la Bota and follow the path that climbs to the coll Prunera. Once there, you must follow the ridge in an E direction to reach the Morral d'en Bens, and from below it you must go around it on the S side to find a gully where the cave is located. From east to west there are: Cova Xica; Cova Bellot; Cova Bellot II. Very approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

The entrance, one metre in diameter, allows us to advance through a rather curved conduit about 7 metres long. The cave ends in a small widening with two tiny squeezes that are totally impassable.

History

Domènec Bellot discovered the Bellot cave and the Cova Xica, and we have evidence of their exploration in 1966 by members of the GES – CMB (probably from its Terrassa delegation), and they include them in the Sant Llorenç del Munt catalogue (1974); they call it Cova Ballot and without accompanying any survey.

In January 1986, Xavier Badiella and Albert Buil (SIS – CET) found between the two previous ones a small hole, which they did not explore until August 2000 and which they went on to name cova Bellot, and we believe that the one already known by this name they call Cova Bellot II. Since they have always been known this way, we maintain this criterion even though we think it is mistaken.
