Caratteristiche

Località

From Castellar del Vallès you must take the track that climbs along the torrent de Canyelles up to the bend known as the Revolt Gran. From there we will follow a small path that leaves to our right and climbs alongside a torrent. This path, very overgrown due to fallen pines and arítjols, must be followed for about 400 metres until it crosses the torrent. We will have to follow this one, climbing up several steps formed by cascades 1 to 5 metres high, until reaching a notable pothole located above one of these cascades. Then we will take the N direction to the left, climbing about 25 metres above the thalweg of the torrent, where among a clearing of pines, the pit is found, marked with a sign made by the people of Castellar.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The 2 x 0.5 metre entrance gives way to a 3 metre drop that leaves us on a ledge; from here a gallery runs in an N direction, 4 metres long, 2 wide and with a height that oscillates between 2.5 and 3 metres. At the end, a stalagmitic column allows us to climb a 2 metre drop, from where we follow a narrow gallery of 2 metres that leads to a final small chamber very rich in concretions. Back at the beginning of the ledge, we still have to descend 4 metres down a shaft that brings us onto a cone of debris. At the N end, going under the ledge, we find a chamber very rich in concretions that brings the cavity to an end. Cavity structured along an N30E-S30O joint.

Concrezioni

Storia

The cavity was discovered and explored for the first time on the evening of 15 May 1981 by members of the SEAC (today Centre Excursionista de Castellar del Vallès), although it was made known by the people of the SIS - CET who visited and surveyed it a month later. We update the record (March 2016) including a sketch made by the first explorers (SEAC) three years after its discovery and which we have now found again in their bulletin.
