Baumes de la Molera d'ausió

Although they have popularly been called “baumes”, it is a complex formed by crevices and a chaotic accumulation of large blocks that come to form passages between them, including important underground sections and even a small shaft.

The complex develops along a front 240 m long, but the speleologically most important part is concentrated at the western side. To the south the complex is bounded by a more or less continuous wall, though of variable height, being higher in the central part while diminishing towards the ends. From the wall towards the north a series of large blocks break away with a chaotic distribution. Between them crevices and more or less labyrinthine passages are formed. Open-air sections alternate with underground ones, the latter reaching a good total speleometry.

Given the chaotic character of the place, the topographic representation is not easy. For this reason the topography presented here must be understood as a document drawn up more to give an idea of the whole than to seek a precision difficult to obtain and represent. For the same reason, it is not easy to assign a precise speleometry to the complex, but we believe that a good approximation would be to establish it at 270 m for the whole of the crevices and passages between blocks, of which 100 m correspond to underground sections.

In general, it is an enchanting and magical place located in a slight shady spot in the middle of the forest where the moss gives a green and gloomy appearance to the whole complex. Despite being a completely natural place, it has been slightly modified by the action of the molers, whose imprint we can observe both in open-air and underground sections.
