Small cave with a 23 m passage in the Serra de Lleràs, an inactive spring with a narrow-section gallery filled with sediments.

Characteristics

Location

In the Serra de Lleràs. Three and a half kilometres after passing Sapeira in the direction of Espluga de Serra, and one kilometre six hundred metres before reaching the village of Castellet, the track is crossed by a very wide torrent that comes down from the serra de Lleràs. Going up this torrent about 100 metres, we find on the left a building like a shed; continue onwards until reaching a fork of ravines (the right-hand one goes towards the graller de Castellet or Espluga de la Fageda). Take the left-hand one until reaching the confluence of three torrents; here you must follow the right-hand one (Barranc de la Pedregor) and continue upstream to a long gorge section in which 4 or 5 cascades must be climbed. Further on the streambed widens and on the right (left slope) there is a scree slope which, once climbed, leads to the large lower opening of the Forat nº 1, visible from the streambed of the ravine. The Forat nº 2 is located below the scree slope and in a corner of the bottom of the ravine. Coordinates of very low reliability.
