Description

Morphology

To access the entrance it is necessary to climb the crag about 4 metres, where we find the opening in the shape of a triangle; this measures 3X2 metres and leads to a room with a flat floor of the same dimensions. At one end a straight conduit opens, 16 metres long and of modest dimensions. About 5 metres along the route there is a window in the ceiling that communicates laterally, after a meandering route of 5 metres, with the same conduit; a few metres from the end the ceiling rises until reaching another opening of balmed shape, suspended in the same cliff. Parallel at this point, a second gallery of more comfortable dimensions opens and ends at 5 metres of route.

Other details

Inside the cavity, and as a consequence of the two entrances, a strong air current circulates.

History

Cavity explored by the SIEP of CE Poblet at the end of the sixties of the last century.
