Coves del Passant del Faig

The cova del Passant del Faig is found in a small depression of the terrain between three beautiful beech trees. The mouth is one metre wide by about 65 cm high. The general direction of the cave is parallel to the cliff of the ridge, which is a few metres away. These are, then, cavities of the type that have come to be called 'tectonic'. The dominant morphology is clastic and the fractures and joints of the rock are clearly visible.

The cova petita has a much smaller mouth, often half covered by leaf litter, but it opens immediately into a small room about 5 m in diameter with a sloping floor from which a couple of short galleries emerge.

The mouth is one metre wide by about 65 cm high, giving way to an easy drop of a couple of metres. A few metres further on we will climb down over some blocks and find ourselves at a fork. To the left it ends soon, at three metres, and to the right we will have to crawl about 4 metres until reaching a narrow passage on the other side of which the cave continues through a joint-shaped gallery, narrow but passable, which goes deep generating a vertical. An acoustic sounding (euphemism meaning 'throwing a stone') allows us to make an estimate of its depth -we believe conservative- at around 7 m.

The continuation of the exploration remained pending, but this was done in September 2025 by Nil Hosta and Tanit Sanmartín who descended the final little shaft where the cavity ends.
