A 46-metre-long cave in Cervelló, explored by the CE Vallirana in 1966.

Characteristics

Location

Located at the exit of Cervelló in the direction of Vallirana, at the place called “La Casilla”, an old road workers' house, we find an asphalted ramp; when reaching the first bend we find on the left the remains of an old oven. At this point a path sets out that we will follow until the first trail we find on the right. This leads to a track that, to the left and uphill, leads to some abandoned quarries. A marker indicates the start of the path that, to the left, leads to the cavity.

Description

Morphology

A large portico gives way to a gallery 7 metres long with a flat floor, which leads us to a 3-metre drop, where a 40-metre gallery begins in which we find various uneven sections and small blocks, with some branches on the right of scant development, and which, like the main gallery, end in narrowings that prevent all progression.

History

Explored by the CE Vallirana in 1966.
