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. 375 metres before reaching the ermita de Santa Anna the road describes a slight curve to the right; at this point we will enter the forest on the right, after 25 metres we will pass under a power line and, continuing on another 30 metres, we will find the cavity.

Entrances

Always verify coordinates and access conditions before setting out.

Description

Morphology

An 8-metre-deep pit. Two entrances, one of them impassable, give access to a 1.70-metre drop. At this point we find a block that divides the shaft; below the block the shaft widens a little before immediately becoming impenetrable.

History

The first exploration of which we have a record was carried out around the year 1976 by the Grup Espeleològic de Mollet.
