Caratteristiche

Località

Along the road from Castellfollit de Riubregós to Torà, about 200 metres before reaching kilometre 26, a track leaves to the left which after a few hundred metres crosses the river Llobregós (depending on the season and the river level, it cannot be crossed on foot, vehicles get through fine). Once past the river we continue along the left-hand track; soon we pass under an electrical line where the track climbs. At the end of this short climb the track becomes flat for a few metres and turns slightly to the left while on the right a flat area opens up which is the head of a torrent; we will have covered 1300 metres from the road. At this point the vehicle must be left and we head in a N direction for a few tens of metres to a small col; the col must be followed on the N side and in a W direction, until reaching the very slope of the Torrent d'Enconills where the cave mouth opens.

Descrizione

Morfologia

A small funnel on a slope places us in a narrow passage 35 centimetres in diameter and a little more than one metre long. Once past this, we find a wide and high gallery which is the general character of the cavity, which has been structured from a joint running NW-SE. At 16 metres of passage we find a gap between blocks; from here the gallery descends in slope down to the maximum depth of -5 metres; from this point the joint must be climbed back up towards the ceiling where we find the continuation of the upper part of the gallery until reaching the point of maximum height +5 metres. The total vertical range of the cavity is 10 metres (-5/+5) and the length 45 metres.

Storia

While searching the internet for information on the villages of the altiplà de la Segarra, although Castellfollit de Riubregós belongs to Anoia but is right next to Torà, we found some information on the town council's website where they mentioned the cova dels Enconills. Since we had no bibliographic reference for this cavity, some collaborators of the Espeleoíndex organised a trip in May 2011 in order to locate and survey this cave, of which there was no record in speleological circles, but which has been known in the municipality for a long time.
