Caratteristiche

Località

From the facilities of the recreational area of the Leurza reservoirs, head toward the dam of the second reservoir along a track running southwest, following the left-hand branch after the fork. Once past the dam, take the track on the right that skirts the upper reservoir, crossing the river of the Erlengarria spring 13, until reaching a new ascending track on the left. Following this, one arrives at a change of direction to the right, which leads to marker 37. Once at the marker, skirt uphill alongside a wire fence, turning with it to the left for about 20 metres. From here ascend for about 70 metres, reaching the caves of the Mojón. From this point take the left-hand side a little higher up, continuing in this direction for about 50 metres, until reaching the mouth of the cave.

Descrizione

Morfologia

This cavity is formed by a single gallery, with a development of 5.1 metres. The mouth is low, and after 2 metres of development it turns 90° to the left, ending in a small window open to the outside. The morphology of the cavity is clearly phreatic, with a clayey-sandy deposit observed that fills it up to half of its section.

Idrologia

This cave, or rather what remains of the former cavity, shows great hydrological activity, with traces of turbulent flow visible on the walls of the gallery, which at present appear quite polished and eroded.
