Descrizione

Morfologia

Through an entrance a little more than 5 metres high, one enters an ascending gallery that quickly loses height until it becomes a passage of small dimensions and almost horizontal. A few metres further on it makes a bend, gaining width and a little height, but it narrows again and the gallery turns almost 180º, continuing narrow and slightly descending until it is choked by sediments.

Progressione

To reach the cave it is necessary to descend by rappel from the upper part.

Storia

Explored by the GE Olot in the first half of the 70s of the last century.
