A 15-metre-long cave in Bagà, with two entrances and a single gallery of just over 14 metres.

Characteristics

Location

Along the old road from Bagà to Gréixer, when entering the Riugréixer narrows, you must climb up a scree slope located to the right of the road, until passing a first cliff, and leave it to go in at the foot of a second, higher small cliff where the cave is located. Very approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

It has two small entrances, one above the other, which give access to a single gallery just over 14 metres long and slightly ascending. Halfway along its course, the ceiling rises, due to the presence of a small section of an upper level, with a narrower floor than the lower one and impassable in both directions. The cavity ends in a small elongated chamber reached through a narrow passage.

History

The first exploration was carried out in 1979 by the SIE del CE Àliga.
