Caratteristiche

Località

From Pineda de Mar we will follow the road of the Riera de Pineda without leaving the asphalt, we will head towards can Mas following the asphalted road, on a climb between houses, the asphalt ends and the track continues to can Mas, 260 metres before reaching it, however, we will turn right onto a track that takes us to a crossroads where from the right a track comes to us that comes from the riera de Pineda, but making a longer detour. We will continue on the left to the point where the track makes a sharp bend to the right on a climb, on this stretch of track there are two houses on the left and the track becomes wider, making it possible to leave the vehicle. Level with the second house, the track turns left and before reaching the next house we find a path on the left that, levelling out, after 470 metres we will find the hole on the right of the path.

Descrizione

Morfologia

After the clearing of the original small hole 25 cm in diameter, we find two superimposed entrances, the upper one is 0.60×0.60 metres, and the lower one is 1.40×0.65 metres (currently it is half covered; data from 2016). Entering through the upper one we descend a small pit of -1.30 metres easily downclimbable. We reach a small chamber, where we observe the entrance conduit that comes from the lower entrance. And on the other side, we see a very narrow passage (0.30×0.80 m) that leads us to a crawl of 3.70 metres that descends steeply until it intercepts a lower gallery.

We find ourselves at the maximum depth (-5 m). If we go in a NW direction the gallery ends at 3 metres. If we go towards the SE, at two metres it becomes impenetrable, if we do not make a new clearing in a fissure 20 cm wide.

Storia

Known by the people of the area since ancient times. The first mentions are given by Faura i Sans in his Index (1908) and Recull (1909) without providing any further data than the name. It is not until 1959 or 1960 that F. Termes locates it during the work of preparing the Catálogo espeleológico de la provincia de Barcelona (1963) where he gives its location and describes it as an impenetrable hole.

Around 2007 members of the G.E. Badalona led by Brauli i Isidro devoted several days to clearing the small orifice, managing to penetrate this small pit and on 11.11.2007 Francesc Alfambra, Brauli Torres i Enric Porcel produced its survey.

According to the colleagues of the GEB, it seems that it was later covered by some thoughtless person, but at this time, at the end of 2016, the cavity is open again.
