Forat de Sobirats

It is a sinkhole with two entrances, formed by water coming from a spring about 40 metres further up. The water seeps through the first of the holes (l'Engolidor), but there is no physical connection with the second hole located 16 metres away (Forat de Sobirats), since at present the passage between the two holes is obstructed.

Entering through the second entrance (Forat de Sobirats) one descends a small step that places us in a descending gallery that eventually becomes impenetrable. On the left side there is a parallel gallery with a low ceiling through which a water inflow circulates.

Halfway along the gallery, at the point where there is the connection with the parallel gallery, we find an upper level that by means of a crawl of about 8 metres in length leads us to a drop of -1.7m that places us in a wide gallery 9 metres in length. At the end of this, a passage between blocks gives access to a narrow conduit about 5 metres in length descending; the gallery widens and gains height and we find a chimney more than 5 metres high. The gallery continues a few metres more with diminishing dimensions until it ends collapsed by sediments.

The water comes from a spring about 40 metres further up and seeps through the first of the holes (l'Engolidor). If it has rained, a stream that flows towards the lower sinkhole.
