Characteristics

Location

From the Hostal del Bac you must go to the molí de la Coromina; once past the mill you must go down to the riverbed, which is dry since the water seeps underneath; following the course of the river we head towards the E, until we find ourselves below the cingles de Tremolets, where the cova de les Tempestes is located. If we look to the N, that is where we would place the cova de l'Estret del Bosc de Quer. Once here we will head through the middle of the forest with no paths and very rugged terrain, until we reach the foot of the cliff; then we must follow it in a NE direction until we find the large entrance of the cavity. The approach is not at all easy.

Description

Morphology

With a large entrance almost 6 metres wide and 6.86 metres high, a single gallery of comfortable dimensions opens up and leads us to a bend where there appears to be a seat carved into the rock; from this point an ascending ramp begins where the ceiling gradually decreases in height, until the end of the gallery is reached, where it turns to the left, the ceiling regains a little height and the floor is flat.

History
