Location

Between the path of la Cornaleda and the cliff of the slope of the Montsant river, we find a clear depression in the middle of the woods, below the Forat I de la Cornaleda and the Esquerda Petita de la Cornaleda. The entrance opens on a bank. Very approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

Pit with 11 m of depth in the Montsant (Ulldemolins).

Progression

Once past the ramp at the entrance we have two possibilities; if we continue in the direction opposite to the entrance, along a short gallery we reach two superimposed chambers. If, on the other hand, we follow the direction of the entrance, between two blocks and under a low ceiling, we find a -4 metre drop at its base and along another gallery we reach the end of the cavity.

History

Explored by the GELL around 1996.
