Caratteristiche

Località

In the Baronia de Rialb. On leaving Ponts in the direction of Andorra we find a roundabout from which the C-1412b road heads towards Isona. At kilometre 15.3 at the collada de la Santa, we turn right onto a road where one of the signs indicates the Forat de Bulí, but with an exaggerated distance, since it is actually referring to the Font de Bulí.

At kilometre 3 from the C-1412b road we reach a junction where we continue to the left, at kilometre 4 we pass the Molí Nou fish farm, at kilometre 4.75 we find a junction where we continue to the left, about fifty metres further on we find a new junction, on the left a 180-degree turn that we will ignore, we must continue straight on, the track ceases to be asphalted, further on we will find asphalt again. At 8.7 kilometres, we cross a small ravine where a track comes out on the right; at this point the vehicle must be left, (UTM-ETRS89 coordinates 348208 - 4659243).

We will follow the track to the end over a distance of 625 metres, from here a path sets out that in 300 metres leads us to the bed of the Rialb, where about one hundred metres upstream is the S mouth of the tunnel formed by the Forat de Bulí.

Once the river has been crossed we find a path that climbs the slope, overcoming a height difference of 73 metres; once at the top it levels out in a N direction and begins to descend towards the river, overcoming the gorge; once at the river we will have covered a distance of 575 metres from the point where we crossed the river; from this point we must follow the river downstream for about a hundred metres where we will find the cave on the right bank of the river; when the river does not carry too much water the entire course of the river flows through the interior of the cave.

Another form of access is by swimming up the Rialb river from the S mouth of the tunnel, it is about seventy metres plus the 21 metres of the Forat de Bulí, from here we will continue upstream for 140 metres where on the hydrographic right we will find the cave. A wetsuit is recommended.

Descrizione

Morfologia

Cavity developed in travertine. From the river bed we find two accesses, a fairly narrow one through which the course of the river enters the interior of the cave, and a few metres further on a wider mouth that places us on the other side of the previous passage. From here we reach a gallery about twenty metres long, slightly descending, with a couple of small steps over which the river flows.

Concrezioni

We find an opening in the ceiling and in the left wall, as well as a strong drip throughout the route coming from the ceiling.

Idrologia

When the river does not carry too much water the entire course of the river flows through the interior of the cave.
