Caratteristiche

Località

From the hamlet of Castellar de Tost (Ribera d'Urgellet), we take the old path of the coll d'Arnat, a track in not very good condition that passes beside the cemetery. Following the track further on we come to a junction; with an off-road vehicle one can continue with difficulty along the track that climbs to the left, beside a dung heap (data from 2006). Shortly afterwards we come to the bassa de Porcelcuit, which is used as a drinking water reservoir for Castellar de Tost.

The track continues climbing to the left of the Torrent de les Rotes and, on a large bend to the left, we find, above the track and on the right, the large entrance of the Espluga dels Lladres.

Descrizione

Morfologia

From the rock shelter situated at the western end of the main cave, known as the Espluga dels Lladres or cova de Fontaubac, two further cavities open up. No. 2 is rather insignificant: it is a crawl of 3.50 metres in length.

Idrologia

The bassa de Porcelcuit is fed by an underground spring (piped); unfortunately, those who explored the Espluga dels Lladres were unable to locate it.

Storia

This cavity, which appeared marked only on some cartographies as the Espluga dels Lladres or cova Fontaubac and of which there was no reference, is located by Josep Cuenca and Francesc Xavier Samarra in December 2005.

It is not until 14 May 2006 that it is fully explored by members of the GE Badalona.
