Cova del Pollancre

A cavity with a difficult access, since we have to climb up the tree the 3.5 m that separate us from the cave, which hangs on the wall. From the tree, the wire containment mesh of the road must be crossed.

Then we find a fissure 0.30 metres wide by 2 metres high. Once inside, we will advance 10.5 m to reach a P-3 easily downclimbed, with a narrow continuation of an r-2.

On the walls a multitude of aragonite flowers can be seen deposited on a patina of clay that in turn covers the limestone. The joint at this point is 8 metres high and 0.40 metres wide. From here and to our right we will climb 8 metres and through a window full of formations we access a P-3.5 which is no more than another joint parallel to the previous one, but wider (1 metre). At the base of this pit, if we go to the right we will descend 2 metres where we will find a muddy crawl that leads to a lower small chamber of about 4×3 metres. This small chamber acts as a receiver of the waters coming from the entrance crawl and from two other smaller ones that we find on the left. Everything is covered with mud and the centre of the small chamber acts as a swallow hole. Despite the evident water activity no possibilities of continuation can be seen.

Turning back, if we go to the left, we will climb 4 metres up a very steep flowstone 0.60 metres wide by 1 metre high that leads us to an upper small chamber. Continuing straight on we find a crawl of about 3 metres that quickly becomes impenetrable. If we move 1.8 metres towards the NW we will see two crawls hanging at ceiling level, through which it was not possible to pass due to their meagre dimensions. The left one is full of formations and the measurement gives 3.50 metres of the visible part.
