Caratteristiche

Località

From the end of the Pla de Querol car park, we will follow the road towards La Plana Novella for 155 metres, turning left along the Pla d'en Pitxot and following the faint path that leads to the avenc dels Aragalls. After covering about 350 metres from the road, when we see a row of three Margallons ahead of us, we will turn right for about fifty metres, where we will find the cavity, currently (2021) quite obvious due to the volume of earth extracted from the cavity.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The 0.96x0.65 metre entrance gives access to a 6.25 metre deep pit, whose base connects laterally with a small chamber just over one metre wide by 3 metres high. The floor is made up of a thick clay sediment; in places almost half a metre has been removed and work continues.

Storia

In 2017 Montse Roca and Juli Serrano (SIE-CEA), returning from the avenc dels Aragalls, found a small unknown hole; however, it was not until 2019 that they, with the help of some hard-up companions from the SIRE-UEC del Prat (currently Unió Excursionista del Part), after clearing a passage of just over 6 metres and beginning to gain volume, were stopped by a plug of sediments. The cavity still offers prospects of continuing the digging open.
