A cavity with 9 metres of passage in Collfred (Vidrà), located and explored in October 2021.

Characteristics

Location

By the road that leads from Vidrà towards Sant Privat d'en Bas, once past the Collada de Collfred, we find on the right the access track to the hamlet of Collfred; the vehicle must be left on the road since the track is private. We will head on foot along the track towards the houses of Collfred, leaving them on the right, and follow the track that crosses the torrent de Santa Magdalena or riu de Collfred; we must follow the main track for about 230 metres to the next torrent, a few metres further on when the slope ends, we will begin to climb up the right-hand side; at 50 metres we will find the depression formed by the cova petita de Collfred, which is on the right of the depression; on the left we find a small hole that descends a couple of metres.
