Caratteristiche

Località

Going from Esparreguera toward Olesa de Montserrat along the C-1414 road, shortly before the bridge that crosses the Llobregat, the road leading to the Colònia Sedó branches off to the left, and a little more than a hundred meters from the junction, on the left bank of the road, we will find the cavities at the foot of a small cliff.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The main cavity and the one closest to the road has an entrance of 2 x 6 meters and inside it, a wide vestibule 4 meters in maximum height, is the start of a gallery 8 meters in length. Suddenly, the dimensions decrease and two parallel passages connect to a room with a round structure of 4 x 4 meters open to the outside by a step. At the foot of this begins a narrow gallery with a meandering structure and about 8 meters in length.

Outside and bordering the foot of the cliff, we will find a large cave of 11 x 7 meters, with an ascending floor and 2 meters in height. If we continue outside, once we pass between some blocks and climb a rocky step, we will find a rectilinear gallery 12 meters in length and artificially conditioned for the channeling of some upper losses, which forms a vertical waterfall of 5 meters. On the left side a beautifully ornamented side room opens.
