Caratteristiche

Località

To the S of the summit of Roca Lladre (Serra del Corb; Marbolenys). Access is from the entrance to the Parc Natural de la Zona Volcànica de la Garrotxa, shortly before entering the village of les Preses coming from Bas along the C-152. A track in very good condition leads to the Àrea recreativa de Xenacs, where the car must be left. Take the path that leads to the Puig Rodó and, before reaching it, once past the clot de Gripies, the so-called camí dels Avencs branches off to the right, running through a splendid beech forest where from time to time some collapses can be seen that give the path its name. One reaches the ridge of the serra del Corb and follows it until passing below the summit of Roca Lladre; at this point one must leave the path (there is a cairn), descend through an area of rock slabs and at its lower part are the entrances of the cavity.

Descrizione

Morfologia

Consists of a single gallery which can be entered through two entrances that intersect laterally with the main gallery. The lower entrance has a short descending ramp that opens out in the very middle of the gallery; to the right it soon ends in two impenetrable passages and to the left it leads to the base of a 5 m pit which is the upper entrance. At the end of the gallery an impenetrable fissure can be seen that communicates with the outside. A narrow laminar passage and some further passages, explored later, increase its length to 80 m. The estimated vertical range is 13 m (+7;-6).

Storia

Although it has been known for many years by hikers and local people, mentioned in various hiking guides and on the Editorial Alpina map, no specific data on the cavity were available until it was visited and surveyed by the SIE – CE Àliga in September 1992, accompanied by some nature-loving friends from Sant Feliu de Pallerols. Visited again by members of the EC Gràcia and the GE Badalona in August 2015, while carrying out a review of data and exploration of some new passages that extend the length to 80 m. As for the toponymy, in Sant Feliu the few who know it call it Cova de Roca Lladre. On old Editorial Alpina maps it appears as Cova del Lladre and in the ICGC cartography there is more variety: the nearby summit appears as Roca Lladre, the point where the cavity is located is labelled Cova de Rocalladre and above it, in larger type, Forat de Rocalladre.
