Characteristics

Location

By the C-1413b road, from Hostalets de Balenyà to Centelles, shortly before kilometre 18, we will turn right towards Fontderola and el Puigsagordi. Once at the Pla de Castellar, we will head N, towards the antennas located at el Castellar. From the SE part of the buildings, a path sets off skirting the cliff in a S direction; we will follow it for about 500 metres until reaching the coordinates (ED50- X:433517; Y:4629755). At this point a trail begins that descends through a pass allowing the cliff to be overcome, and where on the right are the coves PG-3 and PG-4. We will continue along the base of the cliff in a N direction, for 60 metres, where we will find the cova PG-8 4 metres above the path and the cova PG-9, 5 metres further N.

Very approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

The cave is formed by a single gallery 7 metres long, which in its central part forms a 90º angle and comes out to the exterior again. The gallery is 2.5 metres wide and follows the SE-NW and SW-NE orientation.

History

Explored by members of the GIE Granollers in 1978.

In the latest speleological catalogue of Catalonia vol.4 (J. De Valles), the place name Puigsagordi has been added to the name of the cavity. At EspeleoÍndex we have kept the original name given to it by the GIEG.
