Caratteristiche

Località

Theoretically, and following the known data, it should be located a few metres above the left slope of the torrent that descends from the head of the Fondo de Vallbona and runs parallel to the Pla de les Basses. More or less at the height of and below the Avenc dels Tres Tombs.

It must be said that we have been searching for it many times and in recent years, the exuberant vegetation that covers this whole sector makes the search practically impossible.

We know from veteran colleagues who claim to have been there many years ago and that course outings had even been made, but nobody is able to remember the exact spot.

The coordinates we provide are those corresponding to the point where Joan Borràs places it in his Catàleg espeleològic de Garraf.

If anyone can provide more precise data, we would be grateful for the information.
