Storia

In 1973, members of the SIRE-UEC de Gràcia explore a small cavity in the Gualba area, which they name avenc de les Pedreres. A long time later, in 1993, members of the GES-CM de Terrassa discover not far from that one another cavity which at first sight presented a little more interest, despite its reduced dimensions; it was the Forat de les Pedreres nº 2.

Since the Montseny massif, given its lithology, is not very prolific in underground cavities and since the situation of these pits, close to working quarries, may mean that sooner or later they disappear, in 1995 members of the SIE-CEA went with the directions provided by Jaume Claverí (GES-CMT), who take the opportunity to visit it and make the corresponding survey. During the excursion, they were still able to locate a third cavity of even more reduced dimensions; it was the Forat nº 1 i 1/2 de les Pedreres.
