Foradada de la Bruixa

Petita foradada al barranc de la Bruixa (Montsant)

Morera de Montsant, La • Priorat11m0

Small Foradada in the barranc de la Bruixa (Montsant), on the ridge that separates the barrancs de la Bruixa and les Pletes, near the head of the barranc de la Bruixa.

Characteristics

Location

It is located on the ridge that separates the barrancs de la Bruixa and les Pletes, very close to the head of the barranc de la Bruixa.

To access it we will set out from the village of Albarca, belonging to the municipality of Cornudella de Montsant. We will take the GR171 which ascends to the serra Major; once we have reached the Roca Corbatera, we will follow the path that runs in a SW direction parallel to the cliffs of the Serra Major until we reach the head of the barranc de la Bruixa (monument to the Sant Crist de la Sang); from there we will move towards the NW along the ridge that separates the barrancs de la Bruixa and de les Pletes for a stretch of 180 m; the Foradada is at the base of a small rocky ridge.

Description

Morphology

Foradada that crosses from N to S a small rocky ridge, connecting both slopes of the barrancs de la Bruixa and de les Pletes.

The S entrance, located on the slope of the barranc de la Bruixa, has a funnel-shaped mouth that quickly leads to the crawlway that connects in about 6 m with the second access. The N entrance is located on the slope of the barranc de les Pletes; it is also funnel-shaped and somewhat more spacious than its counterpart of the S access.
