Description
Morphology
The entrance is 2.5 metres wide by only 1 metre high, while the depth under water is 4.5 metres. The ceiling rises suddenly and reaches 11 metres at the point of maximum height.
Speleothems
Noteworthy are the reconstructive forms, flowstone and gours, which can be seen both at the entrance and at the end of the cave.
Progression
At 10 metres from the entrance we find a bedrock block that we can pass either under the water or over the surface. Once past it, we can continue 7 metres further, where the gallery submerges, at the same time narrowing until it prevents progression after 2 metres.
History
The only data we know are those provided by members of the SIS – CE Terrassa who explored and surveyed it in August 1986.
