Description

Morphology

Small cave with a 12 m passage beneath Can Pobla (Sant Llorenç del Munt). The entrance is a little elevated but without difficulties. Once inside, the ceiling becomes progressively higher; after passing a small step up, a gallery 4 metres long is reached. Climbing without difficulty a few metres up, a step up is reached.

Speleothems

The walls of the gallery are covered with stalagmitic flowstone. From the step up, the abundant concretions hanging from the ceiling can be seen.

Progression

The entrance is a little elevated but without difficulties. Once inside, the ceiling becomes progressively higher; after passing a small step up, a gallery 4 metres long is reached. Climbing without difficulty a few metres up, a step up is reached.

Other details

The cave formed part of a group of springs located at the foot of the cliff line that runs from les Ginesteres, passing by the Cap de Faraó as far as the Cavall Bernat.

History

The only known data are those given by Xavier Badiella (SIS – CET), who located and explored it on 31 January 1978, during one of the many sweeps they made in the area in search of the Avenc T.I.M.

It was later learned that this cave had been explored by members of the Talps de Sabadell group in the mid-1960s and had been named Cova dels Peps, although it had never been made known.
