Small 14-metre cave in Sant Julià de Cerdanyola, with a 9-metre gallery traversed by a small stream and remains of plastics and cloths dragged by the river.

Characteristics

Location

It is located in the very bed of the Cerdanyola river or Greixot torrent, 100 metres downstream of the last waterfall. Access is gained by descending from the wall of the Nou Fonts to the river, continuing to a short waterfall that is easily scrambled down; at its foot there are two entrances on the right bank. The main entrance opens a few metres further down beneath the next waterfall.

Approximate coordinates without much reliability.

Description

Morphology

Its entrance has a sloping shape and is half hidden by an elongated block. Inside there is a spacious gallery with a 9-metre route. This has two small continuations through which they connect again with the small stream.

Hydrology

Through the gallery flows a small stream that plunges from a cylindrical conduit a few metres long, located 4 metres above the main gallery.

Other details

Noteworthy is the large quantity of plastics and cloths dragged by the river, which, coming from Sant Julià de Cerdanyola, have accumulated inside the cavity.
