From the la Falconera parking area (km. 16 on the road from Terrassa to Mura) we will follow the path towards the collet de la Sabatera and turn left to find the camí de la Sesta Forèstega, by which we will reach the hill along its eastern side, finding the main entrance barely 5 metres from the rocky summit.

Description

Morphology

Small cavity with three entrances and 11 m. of passage in the Serra de l'Obac.

Progression

From the main entrance a 6-metre-long corridor can be followed that crosses the hill; shortly before reaching the other end we will find, on the right, a passage along which we will advance crawling for about 3 metres until turning 90º to continue 2 metres more and exit to the outside.

History

Although it was certainly always known, the first speleological reference and survey, from December 1985, is given by Xavier Badiella in a modest internal circular of the SIS – CET, which initially named it Cova del Pujol de la Mata, later coming to be called Foradada.
