Forat Micó

Petit túnel de 9 m. de llargada a Calders (Moianès))

Calders • Moianès9m0

Small tunnel 9 m long in Calders (Moianès), a rock shelter excavated by the riera de Calders.

Characteristics

Location

At kilometre 13.7 of the N-141C road, which runs from Sant Fruitós de Bages to Calders, a path branches off to the right. Without leaving the most trodden one and after passing some buildings on the left, the route turns left, and after a few bends it crosses a tributary stream of the riera de Calders. Following the rightmost track, look for a small path that descends and doubles back until reaching the canal. A little further on is the Forat Micó.

Description

Morphology

Small tunnel 9 m long. Rock shelter excavated by the riera de Calders, which currently flows further down. This rock shelter has a tunnel where the outer wall is due to the accumulation of tosca over the vegetation. Part of the inner wall is artificial, as it forms part of the canal de Viladecavalls (Bages).

Hydrology

The canal de Viladecavalls (Bages) carries water to the resclosa de la Colònia Jorba, where there is a small power station.

History

Known since time immemorial by the inhabitants of the area. Despite this, and perhaps because of its little importance, this cavity with such a common toponym does not appear in the speleological bibliography.
