Caratteristiche

Località

From Alòs de Balaguer, we cross the Segre river by the Alòs bridge and continue to the left in the direction of Rubió; at 190 metres we turn right onto the track that leads to the Tossal de Boada where the communication antennas are located. This is a route of about 6 kilometres, where on its final stretch a four-wheel-drive vehicle is recommended.

From the antenna installation we follow a path that runs along the ridge in an E direction for 140 metres; here we turn right onto a faint path that places us on the S slope of the serra de Boada; we follow the path for 220 metres, descending diagonally in an E direction over a drop of 46 metres, where we will find the small entrance of the cavity.

Descrizione

Morfologia

Although cited as a cave, it is in reality a pit.

A small entrance of 0.56x0.52 gives access to an inclined shaft where one can descend without equipment; as one descends, the passage becomes wider and taller, while at the same time losing inclination; the gallery makes a right-hand bend and ends; on the right-hand side we find a narrow passage that has no continuation.

In the entrance stretch on the left-hand side we find two small passages without continuation.

Concrezioni

We also find an interesting lithogenic process in the form of stalactites and flowstone, some of them damaged by human ignorance.

Progressione

A small entrance of 0.56x0.52 gives access to an inclined shaft where one can descend without equipment.

Storia

A cavity unpublished speleologically; no published information referring to it has been found. It is evident that it is known locally and by some hikers. We suppose that at some point it has been explored by people linked to speleology since a “spit” is installed at the entrance, which is entirely unnecessary. In July 2024 Juli Serrano (SIE-CEA) and Francesc Rubinat (ERE-CEC) visit it for the purpose of carrying out cataloguing work.
