Description
Morphology
The good-sized entrance beside the path leads to an ascending gallery 16 metres long, with an average width of 4 metres and a height of the order of 3-4 metres. The cave has a positive height difference of +9 metres.
Hydrology
A few tens of metres before the entrance of the cova del Vimboca there is a small cave where a flow of water (spring) rises.
Progression
Climbing up the left wall, we reach a precarious ledge that continues along a narrow upper gallery that has an exit to the outside, and which hangs on the cliff.
History
Cited by Faura i Sans in 1909 without providing any further data. On 29 July 2006, Ferran Cardona, F. Xavier Samarra and Josep Cuenca searched for it and located it in the Monnell or Molnell torrent.
