Descrizione

Morfologia

Entering through the lower entrance, which is the most visible and at the same time passable, there is a 2 metre drop that places one in the middle of a steep ramp that has a small chamber at its top. This ramp connects at a couple of points with another parallel ramp coming from the upper entrance; both meet at some small drops of 2-3 metres. Once descended, one reaches a strongly inclined gallery that leads to the point of maximum depth. From the upper part of this gallery a small ascending gallery can be followed. At the beginning of this gallery there is a narrow shaft that offers possibilities if a narrow passage is cleared. Back in the main gallery, a side passage gives access to a new ascending branch.

Storia

The only known data are those given by the members of the GERP (Sant Just Desvern), who explored and surveyed it in May 1986.
