Caratteristiche

Località

From the road that goes from Ponts to Artesa de Segre, almost at kilometre 114, the LV-3134 road branches off towards Oliola. After about 200 metres the road crosses the Famides ravine, just at the point where the upper entrance opens. Once past on the S side of the ravine (hydrographic right), we will continue towards the W, close to the ravine, through a cultivated field that descends on a slight slope. Before reaching the end of the field, a small path allows us to descend easily to the bed of the ravine; once inside, we only have to follow it among blackberry bushes in the direction of the road, until we reach the entrance.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The 4X2 entrance gives access to a meandering gallery with a general direction of N25E with sedimentary terraces at mid-height. After about a hundred metres it opens to the outside again.

Idrologia

The cavity is used intermittently by the course of the ravine; in the dry season the little water that flows through it filters about 400 metres before reaching the cave, reappearing again inside the cavity in its final stretch.

Altri dettagli

The cavity is full of all kinds of rubbish dragged along by the stream.

Storia

The ERE of the CEC explored it on 25 September 1970, based on information provided by Ernest Figuerola, who had visited it with the scouts of the A.E. Narcís Massó. The cave was also known by the name of en Femides; after making various enquiries it seems that the correct name is Famides.
