Caratteristiche

Località

Along the track that climbs from the Hostal Roig to the Portella Blanca, at the height of the Llau de la Coma del Torn and located at 1439 metres of altitude, we find a shepherds' hut. Once at the hut, we must descend northwards in a straight line to reach the start of a stratum that rises to the left of the Llau de la Coma del Torn. Once past the rise at the start of the stratum, it forms a sloping platform following the syncline. We will have to descend along the left side of the platform near the cliff; the cavity is in the middle of the wood about three hundred metres from the start of the platform.

Descrizione

Morfologia

A 4 X 2.5 metre entrance and a 13.5-metre-deep shaft that leads to a chamber 15 metres wide with an irregular floor, full of blocks and sloping towards the north, which connects with two other chambers, the first of them by overcoming a narrow vertical passage.

Concrezioni

In the last chamber we find, in profusion, spectacular rhombohedral calcite crystals.

Progressione

The continuation is presented through a 20-metre crawlway that leads to the last chamber.

Storia

The first exploration corresponds to Ll. Auroux and F. Sas (GIE) on 7 December 1964.

Very probably, and judging by all the available indications, this cavity is the Forat de Costarrobres cited by Jeannel in 1910.
