Description
Morphology
The entrance is 1.50x1 metre and gives access to a single meandering gallery with a general NW direction. Once the whole meander section has been passed and standing at the base of the gallery, it turns towards the NE, then turns again towards the NW 12 metres further on.
Hydrology
From the point where the gallery turns again towards the NW, accumulations of mud are found, and at certain times of the year this final section of the cave appears flooded.
History
The first exploration of which we have record is that carried out by the Grup d'Amics de l'Espeleologia Científica, of Manlleu, who explored and surveyed it on 26 October 1972, naming it cova nº 1 del Stop. In the same area they explored 3 other cavities, and an article about it was published that same year, in a local bulletin of Manlleu.
In 1976 it was explored and surveyed again by the Grup Espeleològic de Mollet, who went on to name it with what we consider the most appropriate name of cova del Far.
