Caratteristiche

Località

On the C-14 road from Ponts towards Artesa de Segre, at kilometre 114.48, we will turn left onto a track that leads to a farm; before reaching the farm gate the track turns left and over a distance of 425 metres reaches an esplanade where building material used to be dumped. From here we will descend over a distance of about 180 metres to some cultivated fields below; these cultivated fields occupy the whole valley. We will follow along the right-hand side of the cultivated land and in 150 metres we will reach the mouth of the cavity, which lies within the cultivated land at the boundary with the wooded area.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The one-metre-diameter mouth gives way via a 2.5-metre vertical drop to a low-roofed gallery that leads to a small chamber. At the opposite end, and after a second 4-metre drop, a descending gallery with a steep gradient begins, which places us at the point of maximum depth of the cavity, -18.5 metres.
