Caratteristiche

Località

From Castellcir, take the path leading to the castle, follow along the Castellcir stream, pass by ca l'Antoja and la Torrassa dels Moros, then change slopes to take the path to the casa Nova del Castell. Shortly before crossing the torrent de la Casa Nova, a small path branches off to the right and climbs directly to the castle. Shortly before arriving, the path levels out along a ridge, and it is then that you must turn back along the aforementioned ridge heading SW. A faint trail, at times very overgrown, goes into a dense forest where the entrance of the pit is difficult to locate.

On the final stretch of the climb, the companions of the espeleodijous found a small trail that, through the forest, climbs up to the entrance of the pit, saving the last metres of the climb and the walk back through the middle of the forest.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The small entrance connects to a 13 metre shaft, like a narrow tube in the first section, which leaves us at the upper part of a chamber 21 metres long by 4 metres wide, with the floor made up of a debris slope down to the point of maximum depth. From the base of the entrance shaft, and in the opposite direction, the original joint appears, quite narrow and becoming impassable after a few metres.

Storia

We have not been able to find out who carried out the first exploration and when. The oldest one we have documented is that of Oleguer Escolà in 1979.
