Description
Morphology
The funnel-shaped mouth allows us to descend a 6-metre shaft, preceded by a short gallery in an E direction. We will pass a very crouched squeeze that will lead us to a room 4 metres high. We will then continue along a gallery 1 metre high for about 10 metres, until, as it descends a little, we find a sump.
Hydrology
It is an intermittent spring that collects the waters of the Serrat del Pou, established in a N35E-S35O joint. Below the mouth, in the direction of the nearby track, one can observe a channel very hidden by vegetation, a product of the force of the water when the spring becomes active.
Progression
At present the exploration is somewhat complicated because some “foresighted” person installed at the bottom of the entrance funnel a metal mesh with iron rods and onto which debris from outside has fallen, which hinders and makes dangerous the passage inside.
History
Known since time immemorial by the people of the area, who called it false because the outflow of water occurred intermittently and over long periods of time. The first work on this curious spring is due to members of the Espeleo Club Sabadell who began the studies in 1980.
