Description

Morphology

A circular entrance just over 1 metre in diameter leads us for about 4 metres into the interior of the cavity, at which point it turns to the right and its dimensions diminish until it closes completely.

History

Known for ever by the people of Josa del Cadí. The first exploration was carried out by members of the SIRE – UEC Sants in August 1968.

Also in August, but in 1995, members of the SIES (Esplugues de Llobregat) visited it again and made the survey, which remained unpublished until the publication of the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya (J. de Valles, 2009).
