Location

Access is from Bóixols via the Obaga Negra and the coll de Llívia, following the track towards Hortoneda. At approximately two kilometres and four hundred metres after passing the Coll de Llívia, the track makes a 180-degree left-hand bend in a flat and quite wooded area. From here we will cross the flat area and head to the right to look for the cliff face; the cavity is about 50 metres from the flat area and a few metres from the cliff face.

Entrances

Description

Morphology

Entrance 6 x 1.5 metres. It begins with a short ramp until we reach the head of a 14-metre pit, at the base of which we find a gallery of notable dimensions 11 x 4 metres. At the eastern end we find a ramp that leads us to a new 8-metre pit; at its base, a gallery in a westerly direction is blocked after 6 metres.

Progression

Entrance 6 x 1.5 metres, it begins with a short ramp until we reach the head of a 14-metre pit at the base of which we find a gallery of notable dimensions 11 x 4 metres. At the eastern end we find a ramp that leads us to a new 8-metre pit, at the base of which a gallery in a westerly direction is blocked after 6 metres. Towards the east a ramp full of debris will take us to the bottom of the cavity.

History

It seems that this pit was first explored by members of the EDES of Manresa in the 70s of the last century, but it fell into the most absolute oblivion. Thanks to the information provided by Tunica, who belonged to the Bombers de la Pobla de Segur, it could be located.
