Characteristics

Location

Above Km. 5 of the BV-2116 road that links the urban centres of Castellet i la Gornal and Clariana, we will take the descending track towards the Font d'Horta and Cal Bladet for about 180m, until reaching the Font d'Horta bridge where we will leave the vehicle and continue on foot along the path that leaves from the other side of the bridge and heads towards the Font d'Horta.

We will go up the Torrent de Font d'Horta for about 600m along the marked path, about 50m before the Font d'Horta which remains on the right of the path, we take a very discreet track on the left of the path, which goes back over the path already covered at a higher level, we will follow it for 120m, at which point we will leave it to climb up to the right, now without a path, a drop of approximately 10m.

The cavity is found at the base of a small rise.

Description

Morphology

Cave of low height that forces one to progress lying flat; after passing the entrance mouth it extends slightly towards the SW. A block followed by a narrow flat-out passage allows access to the innermost chamber of the cavity; towards the W of the inner chamber there is an impenetrable narrow flat-out passage on an ascending slope that ends between blocks; between these blocks a certain air current can be noticed.

History

In April 2018 Jordi Navarro and Montse Mañosa (Centre Excursionista Castellar) located it and made the survey.
