Tavertet • Osona 85m 7m

An 85-metre-long cave in Tavertet, located on the limestone crag, with an entrance 10 by 5 metres and galleries running NE and S.

Characteristics

Location

The cave is located in the middle of the limestone wall that forms the crag of Tavertet, and about 20 metres from the lower base. Access is via the path that, leaving Tavertet, descends towards Surroca and follows the edge of the crag as far as the cave itself. Very approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

The entrance is 10 metres high by 5 wide and gives access to a chamber of about 25 square metres. At the end of this chamber, at +7 metres height, a fissure leads to a low gallery running NE about 20 metres long. In this gallery, a small gallery of about 4 metres allows access to a new gallery running S, about 20 metres long. Almost at the end of this one, there is a perpendicular gallery about 7 metres long running NE, which halfway along turns to the SE and ends in a chamber about 8 metres long.

History

Although it seems to have been known since ancient times by the local people, we only have the reference of the exploration carried out on 26 February 1977 by members of the GE Mollet.
