Location

We will leave the village of Gurp, belonging to the municipality of Tremp, and go up its main street to the last houses; from there a path heads W towards the nearby cliffs. In about 300 m we will climb up to the level where the corrals are aligned; the entrance of la Cova Genera will be visible, slightly suspended in the cliff and very close to its right, corral no. 6. From the latter we must follow the base of the cliffs to its right, pass along a discreet ledge behind the vegetation and keep climbing until we find the entrance next to the ledge, before reaching the esplanade of cova de l'Aigua.

Description

Morphology

Cave with a small entrance and an upward ramp. Once past the entrance, one reaches a wide gallery, but with a low ceiling. Next to the entrance and at the NW end there is an impenetrable passage that connects with the outside.

Progression

The gallery has a low ceiling, which forces one to progress crouched. The progression towards the interior ends after a few metres due to the low height between the ceiling and the floor, although the continuity for some metres further is evident.

History

Unpublished cavity. Visited and documented in August 2023 by Montse Mañosa and Jordi Navarro (Centre Excursionista de Castellar del Vallès).
