Location

By the BV-4031 road from Castellar de n'Hug, shortly after kilometre 21 we reach the coll de la Creueta, where we turn left onto a track heading to the Pla de Rus and the coll de la Bassa; shortly before reaching it we find the Pleta de Rus, where the track makes a marked turn to the left. From this point we will climb up towards the E in the direction of the summit of Pla Baguet; before reaching it we will find a passage between rock walls known as the Callarot, where the cavity is located. Approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

Small pit formed by a 6-metre shaft that gives access to several short, narrow galleries, except the main one, with a funnel-shaped floor.

History

Explored and surveyed in 1981 by the GE Badalona, although it was not published until the appearance of the third volume of the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya in 2009.

According to the first explorers, the cavity is located to the W of the cim del Tarter, but according to the Nomenclàtor de toponímia major de Catalunya, this is none other than the cim de Pla de Baguet; the ICGC also names it thus.
