Location

It is found on the flat immediately below the upper ridge of the serra del Cadí, between the beginnings of the canals de Paradell and Ferrer. At this point there is a series of rocky outcrops, in one of which the cavity opens. Its location is somewhat complicated, since although its dimensions are considerable, it is not visible from any point. Approximate coordinates without much precision.

Description

Morphology

A N-S oriented joint with an average width of about 2 metres allows, at one of its ends, a descent to the base, covered with blocks and with the floor sloping towards the lowest part, where it gains in dimensions.
