Description
Morphology
The cavity begins with a gallery about 10 metres long, with a flat floor, which turns to the right and gradually narrows until reaching a narrow passage that, once passed, gives way to a chamber a few metres long but about 4 metres high and with a chimney in the very middle of the ceiling. At the end of the chamber there is a new narrow passage that, once passed, gives access to the last room of the cavity, elongated, slightly ascending and about 3-4 metres high.
Other details
Topography: We have been able to rediscover the original topography and we can observe a difference in the direction of the gallery between it and the redrawn one that was published in the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya Vol. 4 (1980). We attach both in case someone has the opportunity to review it in the future.
History
Although it seems it was known by people of the area since remote times, the first data we know are those provided by the members of the GE d'Olot who explored it in 1972.
