Caratteristiche

Località

Via the Puigbalí track to Falgars, we reach the col (above the Soler); on the right a track begins, in poor condition at first, which we follow to its end. At precisely this point we find a well-marked path that leads us to the coll de Maniscle; we continue over open terrain until we find a stairway that places us at the Pla Montosa. The hole is nearby, beside the path on a flat area among the pines.

Approximate coordinates with no reliability whatsoever. According to the indications given in the various publications, the cavity should be located further to the West, between the Puig Caçador and the Puig de Torroella, while the coordinates provided in these same publications place it at the Pla del Vi at an altitude of 1005 metres.

Descrizione

Morfologia

An opening of eclosion, round, about 1.3 metres in diameter in the limestone-argillaceous substrate, 5-6 metres deep. Like the forat de Malveí, of similar characteristics, the opening of the hole seems to have been favoured by the charcoal kilns. After this first shaft, another of -11.7 metres leads us to a joint with clastic processes. Through a concealed orifice and a shaft of -5.8 metres, we reach the deepest section of the cavity, a zigzag joint with smooth walls, of a direction and morphology different from the rest of the cavity.

Storia

Explored and surveyed by the GEIS in 1985, placing the depth at -21.5 metres. At the base of the -11.7 metre shaft we find the initials CEB painted with carbide smoke. It also appears located on the map of the X Embardissada (1987).
