Description
Morphology
The mouth, 1.16x1.59 metres, gives access to a short ramp that opens onto a vertical drop of 2.16 metres; on the NW side we find a short passage almost at the height of the mouth, while on the SE side the gallery descends between ramps and a step, finally becoming impenetrable. Halfway along the gallery we find a chimney with no continuation that rises 5 metres.
History
The location of the cave was facilitated by the former mayor of Gósol, Enric Campmajor, who was aware of its existence, and who explained that it served as a hiding place during the civil war. In the cave there are still remains of tools used by those who hid there.
