Caratteristiche

Località

On the NA 140, at the exit of the village of Abaurrea Alta, in the direction of Ochagavía, take the track on the left, called Erdiko Bidea, and follow it until it joins Medibarrengo Bidea without changing direction. Take the first fork to the left and then immediately take another fork to the left. Continue to Marikoren Borda: the cavity is found on the slope of Ilkortea.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The entrance of the pit opens at the bottom of a large doline. The cavity begins with a 7-metre shaft that leads into a small chamber and continues along a descending ramp. From the 5-metre shaft onwards the cavity increases notably in size, leading into a 14-metre shaft after which a 10-metre shaft-ramp and an 8-metre one follow in succession. After a ledge one reaches a large 38-metre shaft (the block shaft), after which one emerges into a meander with two branches that soon join. The meander gradually becomes narrower until it becomes impenetrable.

Idrologia

At the bottom of this uncomfortable meander a small inflow of water runs along its floor. At the end of the meander a small air circulation becomes apparent.

Progressione

From the descending ramp one can take a path that, after a 90º turn, leads into a gallery that goes nowhere, or else take on the right a fossil gallery of modest dimensions, very unstable and deteriorated, with blocks fallen from its ceiling. Subsequently one reaches a 5-metre shaft.
