Caratteristiche

Località

From Sant Jaume de Frontanyà we will follow the road towards La Pobla de Lillet; after 1.2 kilometres we will turn right onto a track that soon passes by Cal Cintet, la Creu Vermella and heads towards the farmhouse of Les Planes. The cavity opens about 256 metres to the SE of the farmhouse, past the cultivated fields and at the point where the Rec de les Planes begins.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The mouth, elliptical, about 10 by 15 metres, gives way to a funnel with sloping walls and 5 metres deep, where among blocks the entrance opens into a quadrangular underground chamber of 6x8 metres, from which, at its N and S ends, two branches emerge: the first, a room of 6 metres, and the other formed by a room of 13 metres, semicircular and half divided by the sediment accumulations located in its central part. The height of the ceiling oscillates between 2 and 0.50 metres in some points and the floor is formed by clastic materials and clayey sediments.

Concrezioni

In some zones, the reconstructive process is sufficiently developed.

Storia

The first news we have about the exploration of the cavity is the one carried out by the GES del CMB in 1980.

No further data on the cavity are available until Nil Hosta Ferrer, a great connoisseur of the area, locates it again; in February 2025 he opens a path through the blackberry thicket to accompany his colleagues Juli Serrano and Montse Roca (SIE-CEA) to the cavity.
