A large rock shelter in Alpens (Lluçanès), in the middle of a torrent, with tufa stone overhangs and a travertine deposit, protected by a dry-stone counter-wall and used as a dwelling and refuge.

Caratteristiche

Località

We find the rock shelter a few hundred metres south of the urban centre of Alpens. To get there we take the BP-4654 road; when we reach km 14, we turn off onto a forest track that we follow for about 1100 m, until we reach the farmhouse of la Vall. Here we leave the car to continue along a descending path that in about 125 m, to the east, will bring us to the balma de la Vall.

Descrizione

Morfologia

It has dimensions of 32 m in length by 9 m in depth and a height of 2 m. Surrounding the entrance, a dry-stone masonry counter-wall protects it from the rising waters of the torrent and gives the floor plan a flatter shape.

Concrezioni

The torrent forms a small waterfall above the rock shelter, forming tufa stone overhangs and at the base a travertine deposit.

Idrologia

We find the cavity in the middle of a torrent, which forms a small waterfall above the rock shelter.

Altri dettagli

The cavity has been used as a dwelling and refuge. Very close by, below the farmhouse, we find a small rock shelter.
