Morphology

It is a small cave with 10 metres of passage. The entrance, located beneath a large rock, opens in front of a large box tree that covers and hides it. The gallery ascends and descends until it becomes impassable.

Speleothems

At about two metres a stalagmite obstructs the passage; inside there are small lithogenic formations.

History

Found by Josep Cases i Marceló (CE Solsonès) while returning from climbing the Canalda walls opening new routes, approximately around 1986.
