Description

Morphology

The cave opens a few metres from the spring that emerges through blocks. One enters a N/S meander that quickly turns towards the East and becomes a rather low passage whose floor is covered with rounded pebbles.

Hydrology

At the bottom, at -4.5 m, one is at water level and can hear it flowing.
