Caratteristiche

Località

The cova Fosca de Sant Gervàs is located at the base of the cliffs, about 30 metres away to the W of l'Esplugueta.

There are a couple of options for accessing it. One can be done from la Torre de Tamúrcia (Tremp): after the village, take a track on the left towards Casa Jaumet, cross the barranc de Miralles (from here on, 4x4 vehicle) and the corrals de Sallants, where we will leave the vehicle 10 minutes from the ermita de Sant Gervàs.

There is another access which, although longer in distance, is gentler: take the road from Senterada to Pont de Suert and turn off towards Adons (Pont de Suert); once in the village we will leave the vehicle and follow the path that climbs up to the Pas del Portús; once past this we will follow the base of the cinglera towards the W, as far as the Forat Roig, which is almost a kilometre, and from there to the cova Gran there is another kilometre. This whole stretch is done along a faint trail among scree and boxwoods, with an occasional cairn.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The vast porch that serves as the entrance gives access to a gallery about 25 metres long, at the back of which, on the right, a step up and an ascending gallery begin. Towards the end, the gallery exceeds 20 metres in height.

Concrezioni

The ascending gallery has very few lithogenic formations. Towards the end, the gallery presents abundant parietal flowstone.

Storia

The first report we have is provided by R. Jeannel, who visited it on 18-7-1911 during his biospeleological campaigns.

It was not until 25-9-1977 that it was visited again by members of the ERE – CEC, who surveyed it.
