Description

Morphology

The entrance is soon blocked by boulders. You then progress along a ledge overlooking a 2 m drop. The main passage turns 90° and descends through an R 3. It is a fine meander 1 m wide and 4 to 5 m high. After about ten meters, it turns left, passing around speleothems, and a horizontal ledge continues to -10 m. Below, you can descend to the bottom of the meander. At the low point, a very small start at -14.

Speleothems

The meander passes around speleothems.

Progression

A small upstream passage leads back toward the quarry (-3 m).
