Località

We must reach the font del Carme and follow the track that climbs up the torrent. We will arrive at a flat area where two large holm oaks stand out. From this esplanade a path leaves to our right which, once the torrent has been crossed, continues horizontally for about 200 metres until it climbs a little. We must leave the path and continue horizontally along some abandoned terraces, for 50 metres, until we reach some holm oaks beside which the two entrances of the cavity are found.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The upper cave consists of a single gallery 7 metres long in a descending form; its width ranges between 0.5 and 1 metre, while the height does not exceed 2 metres. The cave ends up forming two levels that connect when the upper one ends.

We can access the lower cave by a 1 metre step that leads us to a chamber of 2.5 x 3 metres, where we find a large block of clastic origin that has caused different levels in the chamber; at the E end and below the block, a chimney can be followed that climbs 2 metres between stones and earth. If we go to the deepest end of the cave, which is in a S direction with respect to the entrance, we can also follow below the block and connect with the aforementioned chimney.

Idrologia

We are before a fossil cavity, which in the past had been a spring with two outlets. The erosion forms in both cavities are quite notable.

Both form part of the same group of springs, but at present they cannot be connected by any gallery.

Altri dettagli

In this part of the cavity some important vaults can be observed, formed by the erosion of water.

Storia

Discovered and explored by members of the SES Talps del Centre Excursionista del Vallès (Sabadell) around 1964.
