Small cave in Molló, located by Nil Hosta Ferrer and Tanit Sanmartin in early 2025. It has a vertical drop of +3.5 metres and 17 metres of passage.

Characteristics

Location

Coming from Camprodon along the C-38, shortly before reaching Molló, and after kilometre 17, we will take a cemented track on our right that descends steeply towards El Riberal; we will reach the Ritort river and head to the left without crossing the can Plaga bridge. The track runs parallel to the river; we pass the water intake and the cal Coronel farmhouse. We will reach the old bridge of the moli de cal Fumat; we will leave the vehicles after crossing the Ritort (1.35 kilometres from the road). We will cross the bridge and continue almost without a path along the right hydrographic bank upstream; we pass a field and find a small path with an electric wire for livestock, which must be crossed; the path descends to the bauma d'en Borrasser; the route from the bridge is about 180 metres. We will continue ahead through a grass meadow for about 65 metres and climb up the left slope for a few metres, where we will find the two entrances of the coves Adossades; we will continue climbing the small path that passes through the entrance and about 15 metres higher up we will find the entrance of the cavity.

Description

Morphology

The entrance, divided in two vertically, gives access on the left to a crawlway; a few metres further on the gallery becomes high and a rock bridge must be climbed; at this point, curiously, the limestone ends and the gallery continues in conglomerate; finally the gallery continues with dimensions so small that they do not allow passage. The vertical drop is +3.5 metres and 17 metres of passage.
