Cova Nº1 d'Anton

Cova de 21 metres de recorregut a Tivissa.

Tivissa • Ribera d'Ebre21m0

A 21-metre-long cave in Tivissa, with difficult access and explored by SIRE-Cornellà.

Characteristics

Location

Difficult to access, since the track that leaves Tivissa and follows the camí de la Llena, shortly before reaching the mas de la Devesa, we find that the path is closed by a padlock, as well as signs prohibiting passage, both for vehicles and people.

From behind the mas de la Devesa, a path sets out that crosses a streambed and heads to the mas d'en Benito. From this mas one must climb, crossing fields and old terraced walls, to the serra Segrentana, which runs perpendicular to the serra de la Creu. Past the col that separates the serra Segrentana from the whole of the serra de la Creu, one must follow a small cliff face that is on the right. The cave is clearly visible from the foot of this cliff face.

Approximate coordinates based on a cartography from the year 1952 at a scale of 1:50,000 without much reliability.

Description

Morphology

A 21-metre-long cave in Tivissa.

Passing the vestibule, we find two chambers separated by a broken drop and a narrow passage. In the last of these chambers two short galleries lead off, which become impassable shortly after following them.

History

Located and explored by members of SIRE-Cornellà during the course of the three campaigns carried out during the years 1965-66. In 1982 they return again together with the GERP de Sant Just Desvern.
