Caratteristiche

Località

In the Sot Fosc, a tributary of the riera de Martinet.

We will follow the path that goes up the riera de Martinet along its left hydrographic side, upstream from l'Afrau. Just after crossing the torrent del Sot Fosc, we will go up it along the right side and, after about 40 metres, we will find the rock shelter on the left.

On the Editorial Alpina map it appears under the name "Balma de Gusuac".

Descrizione

Morfologia

An elongated rock shelter 35 metres wide with a maximum depth that barely reaches 5 metres. Height of 2.5 metres or less, depending on the spot. At the SE end it finishes in a small cave 7 metres long, with a very low ceiling.

The cavity has been excavated taking advantage of the contact between two strata of strongly reddish sandstone. The upper one, harder and more compact, forms the roof.

Storia

Known since long ago by the people of the area, who said that inside it a flock of 100 sheep could take shelter. However, lately it had fallen into oblivion and few people know its location.
