Caratteristiche

Località

By the road that leads from Vidrà towards Sant Privat d'en Bas, once past the Collada de Collfred, we find on the right the access track to the hamlet of Collfred; the vehicle must be left on the road, since the track is private. We will head on foot along the track towards the houses of Collfred, leaving them on the right, and follow the track that crosses the torrent de Santa Magdalena or riu de Collfred; the main track must be followed for about 230 metres to the next torrent; a few metres further on, when the slope ends, we will begin to climb up the right-hand side; at 50 metres we will find the depressions formed by the cova petita de Collfred and the cova Travessada de Collfred; continuing to the right, 50 metres further on we will find the entrance of the Forat de Collfred.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The funnel-shaped entrance, open by collapse, gives access to a steep ramp where we find a small passage that becomes impassable after a few metres. Continuing along the ramp we reach a chamber; on the SW side of this we enter a small room that lies beneath the entrance ramp, with a small hole in the ceiling that connects to it. From the chamber, following in a NE direction, we reach a gallery with a slight descent; after a few metres we find a 2.5 metre drop that is overcome on the left by a narrow passage beside the drop. The gallery continues descending until reaching the deepest point of the cavity, -14 metres; the gallery climbs a few metres and descends again, then climbs once more and ends in a small low-ceilinged room.

Storia

The cavity was located in October 2021 while la Cova del Serrat de les Bruixes was being sought, which is speculated to have disappeared (see the blog espeleobloc.blogspot.com post of 6-12-2011 and Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya Vol.4 (2010)). Along with this cavity, two other smaller ones were found.
