Narrow crevice above the Canal d'Urús, in Cerdanya, passable for a few metres before becoming impenetrable.

Characteristics

Location

The so-called Canal d'Urús or Canal del torrent de la Font Llebrera is a curious hanging excavation, of relative modernity and originally intended to channel water, which currently is in a state of abandonment with breaks at various points.

From the Roca d'Urús one advances along the canal in a "descending" direction towards Urús. It is located above the canal and one must climb a few metres to reach the penetrable mouth.
