Caratteristiche

Località

Leaving Noves de Segre, we will cross the river of La Guardia by the old bridge that linked that village with Organyà, following the track to the end. From this point we will continue along a rather faint path until we reach a col near the summit of the Creueta. Once at the col we will leave the path and head to the left through the middle of the forest; once past it we will come to a broad flat area with a fairly developed limestone pavement. On the south-east slope and next to the cliff we will find the entrance of the cavity.

Descrizione

Morfologia

Small entrance of 0.7 x 1.3 metres. At -4 metres one reaches a first level that ends at 7 metres to the north-west and, to the south-east, by means of a 10-metre shaft, one reaches a second level where at its lowest point we find a crawlway that soon becomes closed.
