Descrizione

Morfologia

This notable cavity begins with a narrow mouth less than half a metre wide, but with a height and depth of 6 metres. We quickly gain access to a long gallery that slowly increases in both width and height up to 6 and 10 metres respectively, while the depth decreases to 2 metres. Then the gallery turns left to reach a chamber 5 metres wide and 12 high. The cave continues with a gallery of lateral widening and a small chimney of 4 metres.

Concrezioni

The chamber 5 metres wide and 12 high stands out for the quantity of flowstone covering its walls.

Idrologia

There is a submarine conduit, an extension of the entrance gallery, that leads directly to this chamber.

Storia

The only data we know are those provided by members of the SIS – CE Terrassa who explored and surveyed it in August 1986.
