Descrizione

Morfologia

The cave mouth has maximum measurements of 30 metres in width by 6 metres in depth and 7 metres in height. At the N end we find some small galleries, crawlways, of approximately 1 metre in height by 1 metre in width and a length of 28 metres that end in a widening of 5 metres in width.

Progressione

We will descend along the path until reaching the torrent bed, cross it and the first cave we will find will be the cova del Diable.

Storia

Known since time immemorial and very present in local legends.

Despite this it had never been present in speleological catalogues, although it is mentioned in some hiking guides.

In November 1997 it is visited by Xavier Badiella (SIS – CET) who makes a survey of it. Through ignorance, he incorrectly names it Cova de la Fou.

Finally, members of the GE Badalona visit it in January 2016 and carry out the corresponding cataloguing work.
