Small fissure 6 metres deep in the Montsec de Rubies, in Gavet de la Conca, explored by GEFOMA on 12 November 1978.

Characteristics

Location

From the Hostal Roig, if we head towards the Pas Nou we will find two tracks on the right: the first track climbs towards the upper part of the Montsec de Rubies and the Portella Blanca; the second, which is the one we will follow, will lead us between cultivated fields to a crossroads. We will continue to the left until the end, coming out onto a cultivated field; the cavity is located just below this and in the middle of the forest, right next to the pit no. 2 de les Forques.
