Horta de Sant Joan • Terra Alta 54m

Cave with a 54 m route at the Roques d'en Benet, in Horta de Sant Joan.

Caratteristiche

Località

Leaving Horta de Sant Joan you have to find the track that will lead to the recreational area of the mas de la Franqueta. When you reach the height of the Roques d'en Benet you have to turn left onto another track called de les Eres and, since the cave should be found on the eastern slope of the Moleta del Salvatge, perhaps the best approach could be to turn off onto the track de l'Avellanar which goes around the Roques d'en Benet on the N and then continues along this massif on the eastern side. From the track the large entrances of the cave should be seen hanging.

Approximate coordinates and location, without much precision.

Descrizione

Morfologia

Large entrance of 12 x 16 metres, half closed by a dry stone wall. About 17 metres above the level of the entrance, another concavity opens with an opening of 17 x 8 metres and which has a length of 12 metres with the floor slightly ascending.

Progressione

The large entrance begins a single gallery that gradually loses ceiling height until reaching a passage that had to be cleared to access the final small chamber.

Storia

Although the cave must have been known forever and perhaps under another name, the only reference we have is the data given by the members of the SIRE – UEC Sants who explored and surveyed it in April 1980.
