Description

Morphology

It consists of three superimposed conduits, the sum of which gives the 17 metres of length. The three small galleries follow the same SW direction.

Progression

It should be noted the difficulty of access to the upper gallery, increased at least by the existence of a flowstone between this gallery and the one immediately below.

History

The first exploration of which we have record is the one carried out by the Grup d'Amics de l'Espeleologia Científica, of Manlleu, who explored and surveyed it on 26 October 1972, naming it cave no. 4 of the Stop; in the same area they explored 3 other cavities, an article about it being published that same year in a local bulletin of Manlleu.
