Description

Morphology

It is an old spring, hanging and cut off on its NE side. The cavity has two entrances: the more accessible one is the SW entrance, while the other is in the wall at a height of 2.80 metres. The main gallery is 1 metre wide and about 1.60 metres high on average, and it leads out to the window that serves as the second entrance.

Progression

Entering through the SW entrance, there is a main gallery that at about 2 metres, and on the right, has an exit that is not passable due to its narrowness (0.30 m). Before reaching the window that serves as the second entrance, on the left, there is a small branch 1.65 metres long.

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.
