Location

On the C-153 road, at the height of the coll de Condreu, we will follow the turn-off that leads to the sanctuary of the Mare de Deu del Far. Once past the ermita de Santa Anna, we will continue along the road for 254 metres, where we will find the cavity on the left of the road and right next to it. Currently (2018), as a reference at this point we find a tree trunk planted and painted as if it were a totem.

Description

Morphology

A funnel-shaped depression gives access to a narrow gallery from which two continuations emerge, one descending towards the NE and the other, longer one, ascending towards the SE.

History

The first exploration of which we have a record was carried out in 1975 by the Grup Espeleològic de Mollet.
