Bellver de Cerdanya • Cerdanya 10m

Small tunnel about 10 m long in Bellver de Cerdanya, with a nearby subsidiary cavity.

Characteristics

Location

Going along the N-260 road (Puigcerdà – la Seu d'Urgell), at km. 198, before the turnoff to Prullans and shortly after the restaurant La Muga, there is a turnoff to the right that enters a small industrial area along a paved track. A little over a hundred metres along, the track turns left towards the marble quarry of Griot, SA and on the same bend, to the right, the track to the house of Anes begins. Follow it until you get as close as possible to the Roques Roges and from there ascend, practically without a path, until you reach the crag.

Description

Morphology

Small tunnel about 10 m long. Wide entrance and gallery which, after a few metres, turns right and continues, with much less height, to reach very soon a second entrance hanging in the crag.

A few metres west of the entrance there is a subsidiary cavity formed by a narrow, tall fissure that narrows after about 5 m, becoming impassable.

History

Known to very few people and mentioned in a route guide for Cerdanya. It remained unpublished until the visit by members of Espeleodijous in early July 2024
