Location

From the C-153 road that runs from Cantonigròs to Sant Esteve d’en Bas, passing through the coll de Condreu, at km 37 we will begin to climb on the left along a not very marked path until we find the font del Corb; next to it we will find the exit mouth, which is the most visible one, since the other mouth is completely covered by the forest.

Description

Morphology

The gallery runs between a large block that presents several fractures. The temporary watercourse exits outside at the S end through a portal 3 m high by 6 m wide.

Hydrology

Through the upper mouth and descending -6 m we reach the underground torrent, which is the continuation of the epigean torrent that enters the cavity at the N end of the cave.

History

The only data we know is from the exploration carried out by members of the GEB and the ECG, in September 2016.
