Description
Morphology
A beautiful spot that, in the form of a cave, adorns the long Muronell de la Mata ridge; the large cavern approaches the torrent de la Font Freda with an opening 4 metres high by 2 wide, fitted with a carefully worked dry-stone wall, which serves to level the floor of the cave. Access, however, is through a smaller side entrance, one metre wide and exactly two metres high. The interior of the cavity, with a width of 3 metres and a length of 8, appears quite majestic to us, and light is lacking nowhere; a raised opening on the east side, half covered with a dry-stone wall, lets the light in through a 2 x 1.5 metre window. The four metres of height of the chamber allow us a perspective, from inside the cave, that is quite enchanting.
History
Known forever by hikers and local people. It remained unpublished speleologically until it was surveyed in 1992 by members of the SIS del CE Terrassa.
