Description
Morphology
The cave communicates with the outside through two nearby mouths and an impenetrable hole. All of it has an ascending layout. The gallery has fairly regular dimensions along its 28 metres of passage, except at the end, where it becomes lower in ceiling.
Speleothems
It is relatively decorated, especially toward the end, although some formations show symptoms of decalcification.
Hydrology
From the mouth the strong roar of the waterfalls of the gorge can be heard.
History
Despite its almost inaccessible situation it was known since ancient times. It is already mentioned in the famous novel by Marià Vayreda: La Punyalada (1904).
Known by hikers and mentioned in some mountain guides, it had passed practically unnoticed by speleologists until members of the EC Gràcia visited and surveyed it in July 2008.
