Description

Morphology

The cavity is formed by a natural double-arched bridge. No topography is available.

Progression

Only one of the arches can be passed through by swimming or with a small boat, while the second is narrower and it is advisable to pass under the natural arch underwater.

History

A phenomenon known since ancient times. The only data of a speleological nature that we know of are those provided by members of the SIS – CE Terrassa who visited it in August 1987.
