Esquerda del Sostre de Llastra

Petita cavitat a Castellet i la Gornal.

Castellet i la Gornal • Alt Penedès4m1m

Small cavity in Castellet i la Gornal, with a narrow entrance joint 1.1x0.34m.

Characteristics

Location

Above Km. 5 of the BV-2116 road that links the urban centres of Castellet i la Gornal, and Clariana, we will take the descending track towards the Font d'Horta and Cal Bladet for about 180m, until reaching the Font d'Horta bridge where we will leave the vehicle and continue on foot along the path that starts on the other side of the bridge and heads towards the Font d'Horta.

We will go up the Torrent de Font d'Horta for about 600m along the marked path, about 50m before the Font d'Horta which remains to the right of the path.

We take a very discreet track to the left of the path, which goes back over the path already covered at a higher elevation; we will follow it for 120m, at which point we will leave it to climb up to the right, now without a path, a height difference of approximately 20m.

The cavity is located at the base of a block.

Description

Morphology

Joint with a narrow entrance mouth 1.1x0.34m high; the access communicates directly with the main joint of the cavity in a slight descent and a block hanging from the ceiling further limits the scant height; shortly after, another lateral fissure widens the chamber, but the main joint becomes impenetrable.

History

In April 2018 Jordi Navarro and Montse Mañosa (Centre Excursionista Castellar) visited and surveyed it for its cataloguing.
