Description
Morphology
A group of twelve hollows in the rock, most of them raised up, which form a very striking and curious sight. Some of the holes connect with each other and form two sectors. The left-hand one, the longest and easy to access, can be traversed perfectly well without having to stoop. The right-hand one requires climbing to reach and, to move around inside it, you have to stoop.
Other details
A group of small cavities totalling about 80 m of passage in the Serra de l'Obac.
History
Known since time immemorial.
For more than 40 years the turó de les Foradades has been a place very well known to different generations of speleologists from the Vallès and the whole metropolitan area of Barcelona, for carrying out outdoor practice and cave rescue exercises. The wall, with a height ranging between 11 and 12 metres, has various routes for carrying out all kinds of manoeuvres usual in underground exploration.
