Coveta del Joncar

Petita cova a l'Avellà (Font-Rubí).

Font-rubí • Alt Penedès5m0

Small cave at l'Avellà (Font-Rubí), surveyed in August 2021 by Jordi Navarro and Montse Mañosa.

Characteristics

Location

Above Km 4.5 of the BP-2126 road we find the urban centre of l'Avellà in the municipality of Font-Rubí, from which an uphill path leads NW to the Font del Joncar.

The cave is located about 40m NW of the Font del Joncar, at the base of the cliff immediately next to the spring and just a few metres from the drop of the cliff of the torrent del Joncar.

Description

Morphology

Small straight cave parallel to the cliff.

Progression

The dimensions force us to advance lying flat until they make it impassable. However, it is confirmed that it connects with a second small opening that does not allow passage but where air current and acoustic communication are noticeable.

History

In August 2021 Jordi Navarro and Montse Mañosa (Centre Excursionista Castellar) visited it and made the survey.
