Descrizione
Morfologia
The entrance looks like a 'rabbit burrow' and measures 0.5 x 0.4 metres. After this narrow passage, the height increases significantly until reaching 2.5 metres in the final small chamber. The width, however, remains almost the same, although on the left side we can see a fissure that connects with the outside; this does not allow us to glimpse much hope of greater comfort until reaching the final room at 8 metres from the entrance, where, in addition to being able to stand upright, the width increases by a few centimetres.
Concrezioni
This corner of the cavity is beautifully adorned with stalactites and stalagmites, forming a small ledge.
Progressione
Below this, the cavity continues for about 3 metres more in the form of a crawlway that becomes impracticable for us at a very narrow bend.
Storia
Domènec Bellot discovered the Cova Bellot and the Cova Xica, and we have evidence of their exploration in 1966 by members of GES – CMB (probably from its Terrassa delegation) and that they include them in the catalogue of Sant Llorenç del Munt (1974); they call it Cova Ballot and without accompanying any survey.
In January 1986, Xavier Badiella and Albert Buil (SIS – CET) found between the two previous ones a small hole, which they did not explore until August 2000 and which they went on to name cova Bellot, and we believe that the one already known by this name they call Cova Bellot II. Since they have forever been known this way, we maintain this criterion even though we think it is erroneous.
