Località

Take the paved track that leads to the Montsant reservoir; as soon as you have passed an electricity line tower there is a path that descends to the river. After crossing it you must follow downstream along a trail until you have crossed the gully located about 300 metres away. You must leave the confluence of the barranc de la Coma Closa just on the other side of the path that goes to the Rovellosa, along a small path that climbs among pines; halfway up you must descend on the left through some stones below the path. Next you must follow the trail, which was opened around the year 2001, until you reach a steep climb, at the end of which you must pass over a branch of marfull and some blocks that have fallen. A few metres further on you reach a flat section of the path where there is an opening that gives onto the cavity in the form of a pit; a few metres beyond and looking towards the gully you will see a large split block, which is where the entrance is. Approximate coordinates.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The entrance to the cavity is at the edge of the gully. We descend through the fissure in a large block until, via a step, we reach the slightly descending gallery. If we follow downstream, after 15 metres we find an opening large enough for the water to pour out in a beautiful waterfall. We climb back up to the step at the entrance and go up through a chamber that gains width, with a deep ceiling and small concretions. The floor shows us that at times quite a lot of water has come down; on the right-hand side the start of a gallery has been obstructed by earth and stones. Continuing on the left we come to a room with a high ceiling and an inlet of light coming from an opening located in the middle of the gully through which the water leaps into the interior of the cave. Beyond there are some small galleries that connect with one another, but with no continuation. The total elevation change is +10 metres.

Concrezioni

The chamber has small concretions.

Idrologia

Storia

Visited in 1918 by Joan Ferraté. Over the years, vegetation made access to the area impracticable and members of the GELL decided to reopen the path in 1999, rediscovering the cavities they had spotted from the Rovellosa while carrying out prospecting in that area; the cova de la Coma Closa Inferior was rediscovered in 2000 and the Superior in 2001.
