Cova Nº1 del Cingle del Moro

Petita cova a la Serra de l'Arca (Aiguafreda)

Aiguafreda • Vallès Oriental11m7m

Small cave in the Serra de l'Arca (Aiguafreda), discovered in October 2010 by the GE Badalona.

Characteristics

Location

Leaving the town of Aiguafreda, we take the dirt track that from the Aragall leads to the farmhouse of Can Serra de l'Arca, an old construction located on the right slope of the basin of the riera de l'Avencó and with enchanting views.

From here we continue along the track uphill until we get as close as possible to the edge of the cliff. From the path, we can already make out the large porch of cave no. 1 (9 metres high by 1.80 wide). We climb uphill through the vegetation until we find a small path, sometimes very overgrown, that runs along the base of the cingle del Moro. We head SW, and after 5 minutes we find this cave.

Description

Morphology

After the large entrance we find a chamber of about 4 x 4 metres. At the end on the left there is a fissure 2 metres long, not accessible to the explorer due to its narrowness. On the right, another fissure, this one practicable (0.40 metres average width), climbs steeply until it ends 7.50 metres further on. At this point we have the maximum ascending elevation: +7 metres.

History

Its discovery, together with the other two nearby ones, came about as a result of a prospection in the surroundings of Aiguafreda, carried out by members of the GE Badalona in October 2010.
