Description
Morphology
It consists of an entrance gallery that gradually narrows and, after two right-angle turns, connects with a long, narrow passage, slightly ascending, which leads to the final chamber of the cave, a somewhat wider gallery that remains blocked by a stalagmitic flow at its S end, and by the narrowness of the joint, together with the sediments and stones in the N sector.
Speleothems
The final chamber remains blocked by a stalagmitic flow at its S end.
Hydrology
In the N sector, a point where there are also a couple of water pools on the floor.
History
The first news we have of the exploration of the cavity is that carried out by the ERE of the Centre Excursionista de Catalunya on 17 August 1969. In some publications the survey by R. Sitja appears, erroneously dated 1968; in the original survey the already mentioned date of 17 August 1969 is recorded. Also in some publications it is erroneously located in the municipality of Bagà, when it is in Guardiola de Berguedà.
