Small cave with 25 metres of passage in Camarasa, an ancient fossilised spring located in 1971 by Ramon Rubinat.

Caratteristiche

Località

The cavity is found at the base of the upper crag of the Mont-Roig range, on the same stratification plane on which the cova del Tabac is located.

To reach it, follow the path that from the Camarasa reservoir climbs up to the cova del Tabac. When the path reaches the point where a small rise must be climbed to continue towards the cova del Tabac and where the entrance of that cave is already visible, continue onwards along the trail, which runs fairly flat with small variations in gradient. After a few hundred metres we will see an enormous joint in the wall of the Mont-Roig; it begins at the upper part of the massif and descends to the base of the upper crag. At this point is found the cova de l'Il·luminat, heavily hidden by vegetation.

Descrizione

Morfologia

It is an ancient fossilised spring. The cavity has a gallery that at two metres divides: the one in front is a pressure tube that after 6 metres becomes impenetrable. On the right the gallery continues with larger dimensions, to continue on the left at a higher level than the previous gallery until it becomes impenetrable.

Progressione

In this same gallery we find two small shafts: the first leads to a lower gallery that exits to the outside; the other gives access to a crawlway that after two metres is closed.

Storia

This cave was located in 1971 by Ramon Rubinat while he was on an excursion in the area with members of GEFOMA; weeks later they returned to carry out the exploration.
