Descrizione
Morfologia
Just inside we find a small chamber with a chimney of +22 metres; this small chamber ends at 6 metres of passage, and half hidden in its left wall we find an insignificant gallery of about 3 metres of passage. At the end of the small chamber the ceiling lowers and forms a passage 3 metres high by 0.9 metres wide that leads us to another room about 5 metres in diameter, which is nothing other than the base of a shaft of +34 metres. At the entrance to the room and on its right side, by means of a climb of R+3, we reach a ledge from which a narrow gallery starts that ends at 4 metres. Inside this gallery there is a small shaft of -1.6 metres. Standing again on the ledge and climbing another R+2.3, we will reach another small gallery of 2.5 metres. Standing again in the room, at the end of it there is a small sinkhole that leads to a small chamber of 2.5X3 metres, with the continuation obstructed by blocks.
Storia
The first mention of this cavity is provided by Francesc Español (GES - CMB), who visited it in October 1950 during one of his numerous biospeleological searches; at that time he mentions it as Cova del Roc Blanc. Ten years later, in April 1960, other members of GES - CMB visit it again and already call it Cova de l'Estret del Forn. Despite this, the cavity remains almost unpublished until members of SIE - CEA survey it in 1972 and it is published a few years later in the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya (1980). On 27 January 2007 the GEB explores it, carrying out a new survey of the cavity.
