Molló • Ripollès 9m

A small cave in Molló, with an entrance that gives access to a crawlway and a short gallery with meanders.

Characteristics

Location

Coming from Camprodon along the C-38, shortly before reaching Molló, and after kilometre 17, we will take a cemented track on our right that descends steeply towards El Riberal; we will reach the Ritort river and head to the left without crossing the can Plaga bridge. The track runs parallel to the river; we pass the water intake and the cal Coronel farmhouse. We will reach the old bridge of the moli de cal Fumat and leave the cars after crossing the Ritort (1.35 kilometres from the road).

Description

Morphology

A small entrance gives access to a crawlway that after a few metres leads to a short gallery that is higher but with very marked meanders.

Progression

We will cross the bridge and continue almost without a path along the hydrographic right bank upstream; we pass a field and find a small path where there is an electric wire for livestock, which must be crossed; the path descends to the bauma d'en Borrasser; the route from the bridge is about 180 metres. We will continue ahead through a grass meadow for about 65 metres and climb up the left slope for a few metres, where we will find the two entrances of the coves Adossades. We will continue up the small path that passes through the entrance, but once above we will head N for about 15 metres and also about 15 metres of height until we almost reach the wall of a cliff where we will find the small entrance of the cavity.
