Cova del Bivac

Cova de 15 metres de recorregut prop de la Mola (Sant Llorenç del Munt).

Matadepera • Vallès Occidental15m0

A 15-metre-long cave near la Mola, in Sant Llorenç del Munt, with a single narrow gallery and a small impassable hole in the ceiling.

Characteristics

Location

If we start from the summit of la Mola, descending from the monastery in the direction of the canal de Can Pobla, just before leaving the last terrace and entering the canal, we must follow the terrace towards our right-hand side (west), to go and look for a narrow canal that descends towards a small steep drop that is difficult to descend. This will not be necessary, since on the right-hand side of this short canal, through a delicate passage, is the entrance of the cave.

Very approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

A corridor one and a half metres wide by between two and three metres high forms a single gallery 15 metres long. The floor is quite flat. Towards the end this corridor suddenly narrows, the gallery ending in a small balcony one metre above the floor.

A few metres from the mouth, a small impassable hole can be seen in the ceiling that leads to the outside.

Speleothems

In some corners of the ceiling, some meagre forms of stalactites can be observed.

History

Explored in the decade of the 60s of the last century by the SE del CE Sabadell.
