Location

By the track that leads from Fontllonga towards Figuerola de Meià, after 850 metres take a track on the left that climbs to some farmland at the foot of the Cabeçola summit; at the end of the track cross in a NW direction over three field boundaries and reach the edge of the old farmland; from here a path in a N direction leads us to the entrance of the cavity, located on the NW slope of the hillside.

Approximate coordinates, not very reliable.

Description

Morphology

It is a tectonic fissure with some widening in the initial part of the cavity; at the end of the joint and after a fairly narrow crawl, one reaches an 11-metre drop, climbable by opposition, which places us in the deepest part of the cavity – 24 metres. 8 metres before the crawl, a narrow vertical passage gives access to a widening of the joint that allows a descent of 8 metres relative to the main gallery.
