Località

1200 m NE of Sadernes, north of the summit of the Puig de Cofí (on some maps, written “Cufí”), 603 m high.

To get there, take the track (asphalted at first) that leaves on the right of the road leading to Sadernes, about 200 m before reaching it. After about 3 km along it, the track reaches a col, already close to the ruined houses of the Cofí. About 160 m before reaching the col, we must watch out for a faint path that leaves on the left side, uphill. After climbing about 10 m of elevation gain we will find la Cova-1 at the foot of a small cliff.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The entrance is 3.3 m wide by 2.7 m high. It gives access to a chamber about 9 m long by a little more than 3 m wide. From its end two galleries start, the main one being the one on the right, which gradually decreases in dimensions, especially in height, until it ends after having drawn a double bend. The second gallery begins through a narrow circular crawlway that forces us to drag ourselves for a few metres. Once past the crawlway, the gallery tends to widen, but remains low-ceilinged.

Storia

Speleologically these two caves were made known by members of the Centre Excursionista d’Olot, who had explored them on 9-4-1979, with the names 121 and 122, taking these names from an order in the listing of the speleological catalogue of the area that was carried out and remained pending publication (unpublished) in the magazine Espeleòleg of the Centre Excursionista de Catalunya. In 1980 the records are published, except the survey of 122, in the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya, vol. 2.

Thus these place names have not been very well known in the hiking world and when referred to they have been cited as caves of the Cofí and very possibly also as caves of the torrent de Llorers.
