Caratteristiche

Località

From the small village of Josa del Cadí you must climb up to the coll de Jovell located at 1792 metres. If we do not have a four-wheel-drive vehicle, the best option will be to access it from Josa (either by the track that leads to Cornellana or by the GR 150-1).

Leaving the village in the direction of Gósol, we will immediately come across a track that leaves the road on the left towards coll de Jovell; this track also links Josa with Cornellana and Fórnols, although past coll de Jovell it is usually in worse condition, which is why we recommend access via Josa.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The entrance mouth is elongated, about 5 metres long by 1.5 wide, and is largely blocked by boulders. The entrance shaft is 20 metres deep and at its base a descending gallery originates, about 25 metres long with a section that oscillates between 3 and 5 metres wide and is largely covered by boulders and a large quantity of guano from the choughs that nest inside it.

Established in a fracture with an N-S direction and with an important clastic process.

Progressione

Once at Coll de Jovell, we will take the GR 150.1 which climbs, laborious and direct towards the Serra del Cadí, crossing in its upper part some rocky stretches that can hinder progression for those less accustomed to this type of terrain until reaching the height of 2350 metres, and having overcome the 560 metres of elevation gain that there are up to the most grassy area of the Planells de Munt (or the Planells de Josa according to the ICGC), where the GR is marked with stakes. Here we will turn right, levelling out, to find the Grallera Petita del Boixeder after about 240 metres of having left the GR.

Storia

During the fever for the search of the phantasmagorical gouffre de la Sorcière (S.C. De Saint-Pons, 1964), there were many sweeps that were made in the following years across the serra del Cadí.

One of the first was led by Francisco (Helios) Chavarria (GES - CMB), Oleguer Escolà (ERE – CEC) and A. Escolà, Oleguer's father, who went as a companion. On 28 June 1965 and before the accident-prone exploration of the grallera gran they carried out the first exploration of the grallera petita, which at that time they called Grallera nº 2 de Josa.

During the campaign that the SIRE – UEC Sants carried out in August 1968 it was explored again and the only topography we know of was surveyed.
