A 10-metre-deep pit at the bottom of the Molí, Olesa de Bonesvalls.

Characteristics

Location

Driving along the road that links Vallirana and Olesa de Bonesvalls past the housing developments, when these end and after the Avenc de la Cuneta you must take the last street on the right (Carrer del Serral Llarg) and climb almost to the upper area. Before a sharp right-hand bend, the street Carrer de Taubadella comes out on the left, which you must follow to the end into a small round square. From here we continue on foot along a faint path, without losing height, until we reach a sparse ridge where we change slope and a few scattered cairns help us find the Escletxa dels Bancarrassos. A few metres above it lies the pit or hole of the same name.

Description

Morphology

The entrance gives access to a 5.50-metre shaft. At the top of the shaft we find a gallery 10 metres long. From the base of the entrance shaft, a gallery with a slight slope brings us to -10 metres, the lowest point of the cavity.

Progression

The 5.50-metre shaft can be descended without equipment. At 6 metres along the gallery we find a small passage that connects with the lower part.

History

The first exploration was carried out by members of the SIE del CE Àliga in the autumn of 1973.
