Description

Morphology

The entrance gives access to a 7-metre-long vestibule, connected to the outside by the opening in the S wall, and by means of two circular entrances which, like a shaft, allow descent from the upper part.

Progression

In the inner area of the vestibule is the entrance to the shaft that allows descent to -15 metres. At this point there is a very narrow passage, which leads to an 11-metre drop that reaches the point of maximum penetration.
