Location

In the Serra del Cairat, climbing towards the coll de Cassot, in Esparreguera.

Going along the road from Abrera to Manresa (C-55), shortly after km. 7, on the right, there is a turn-off leading to the old and abandoned spa of the Puda de Montserrat. Once past this, the track continues towards Can Tobella (Tovella, wrongly on the ICC) but you must take the first turn-off on the right which, after a few zigzags, climbs and ends at an old rest home of nuns. From here and below the high-tension line a path climbs towards the coll de Cassot. Halfway between the two high-tension towers and on the right, in the very middle of a very visible fissure, this cavity is found.

Approximate coordinates and difficult location.

The topography section includes a map prepared by Xavier Badiella on which most of the cavities of the area are located and which can help in its location.

Description

Morphology

Small 9 m deep fissure. The narrow entrance allows descending down a ramp that leads to a 2 metre drop where we find two very narrow passages that communicate, to return in an ascending form to connect with the entrance ramp.
