Location

On the right hydrographic slope of the torrent de Can Verdeguer, very close to the confluence with the trinxera dels cingles de Can Verdeguer.

From the Can Verdaguer urbanisation, located to the ESE of Mediona, we will ascend along Carrer Camí de Ronda until it ends. We will continue along a dirt track on the right that keeps climbing towards the last houses of the urbanisation for about 100m. At this point a small path sets off, going up the torrent de Can Verdeguer, and in about 100m more we will reach the side of the cave entrance, located at the base of a stone step.

Description

Morphology

Small cave, slightly descending, in which the entrance does not allow access on foot until reaching a larger, habitable chamber.

The back of the cavity has a small step in which the greatest depth and extent of the cavity is reached; we can also observe two narrow superimposed conduits at the entrance and below the step which, due to their dimensions, are not passable.
