Description
Morphology
The cave entrance is on the wall of the small cliff 3 metres above ground level, where a small climb will be necessary in order to gain access.
The entrance, 1.2x1.9 metres, allows us to comfortably enter a small distributor which in a SW direction quickly ends in a wall covered with flowstone with an impenetrable passage.
In a S direction, one can advance a little further by climbing until it ends in an impenetrable passage; the upper part of this section is used by some bird for nesting.
Speleothems
Wall covered with flowstone.
Progression
To gain access a small climb is necessary from the ground up to the entrance, located 3 metres above ground level.
History
Cavity unrecorded until the visit by members of the Centre Excursionista de Castellar del Vallès who carried out the appropriate cataloguing work.
