Description
Morphology
The 1.23x1.05 metre entrance gives access to a single gallery of 6.35 metres with an exit on the other side.
Other details
Currently (2012), a dry-stone wall has been built inside to prevent the draught.
History
Known and mentioned by members of the SIE del CE Àliga who were exploring the cova de les Encantades in the early 1970s, when they used it as a bivouac, it went unnoticed in later catalogues of the area; only Ferran Cardona mentions it in passing in the first volume of Grans Cavitat de Catalunya; finally the same mention appears published in 2009 in the third volume of the Catàleg espeleològic de Catalunya, citing it as the cova del Vivac, but wrongly locating it in Camprodon.
