Descrizione

Morfologia

The entrance is 3.44x3.06 metres and gives access to a gallery of 7.87 metres. On the back wall and at mid-height there is a narrow passage that gives access to a low-roofed gallery with many stalactites, where 4.10 metres of length could be measured.

Concrezioni

The low-roofed gallery has many stalactites.

Progressione

From the 3.44x3.06 metre entrance one reaches a gallery of 7.87 metres. On the back wall and at mid-height there is a narrow passage that gives access to a low-roofed gallery with many stalactites, where 4.10 metres of length could be measured. It is unknown whether this gallery continues, since the dimensions of the passage did not allow access to it, in addition to finding a plague of mosquitoes inside.

Storia

The first reference we have of an exploration is the one carried out by members of the GES - CMB in October 1950, when they made the first visit to the Cova de les Encantades.
