Località

On the left slope of the head of the canal de Tanca.

Located at the upper part of the canal de la Ravella, we will head to the Agulles de Tanca following a network of trails. We will leave behind the leafy main head of the canal de Tanca, until reaching a rocky area crossed by a path that once again goes into the canal de Tanca. We will leave the rocky area on our right, finding a not very worn small channel. Following the walls of the cliff, on our left, we will soon find the steep and bramble-filled access to the cova de la Cabrafiga. Twenty metres to the right is the access to the cova de l'Ensorrament, much cleaner.

To get a good idea of the route, it is interesting to position yourself near the Agulles de Tanca in order to see the two openings that open in the cliff of the canal de Tanca.

Descrizione

Morfologia

Small cave with a 14 m route. Along the 14 metres of route, the cavity comes to have a very narrow section that soon forces us to crawl until reaching the end of the subtly sinuous N15E joint.

The thickness of the layer of more malleable material does not exceed 30 centimetres.

Concrezioni

Worth noting are some stretches of walls with concretions featuring anemolite formations and grey stalagmitic flows as well as some ledges that open to the right and left, filled with small macaroni. They are the testimony of the passage of water through a layer of more malleable material.

In the final stretch, the numerous fragments of rust-coloured stalagmitic plate with a green tone and the rubble that carpets the floor are remarkable.

Progressione

The steep access, filled with blackberries and unstable soil, will require a good pair of gloves and suction cups on your fingers to cling to walls that, on the other hand, are cracked with small concavities and crevices.

Along the 14 metres of route, the cavity comes to have a very narrow section that soon forces us to crawl until reaching the end of the subtly sinuous N15E joint.

The rubble that carpets the floor makes the route a task more appropriate for a professional fakir than for an amateur hiker.

Altri dettagli

The cabrafiga is the fruit of the cabrafiguera, the male foot of the wild fig tree that hangs from the ceiling of the cave as soon as you arrive.

Storia

Discovered and explored in May 1961 by members of the GES – CMB (O. Andrés and J.Mª Torras) who include them (without topography) in the speleological catalogue of Sant Llorenç de Munt (1974).

In January 2000 it was rediscovered and surveyed by members of the SIS of the CE Terrassa.
