Descrizione

Morfologia

The first entrance opens near the Aude: a rising passage leads into a low chamber with two widenings. Floor at + 1.5m.

In the east wall, a small hole communicates with the second entrance, completely open to the air and reachable from outside; it is partly walled up on one side. One enters a vast gallery dotted with natural pillars due to erosion. The floor is bare or sandy. The ceiling is fairly low (1.5 m to 2 m).

A third entrance appears on the right, also walled up and hidden by large collapsed blocks; it overlooks the river by 5 meters. Toward the north, the passage ends at + 4.5m.

On the west side, several small side branches are visible.

Concrezioni

The vast gallery is dotted with natural pillars due to erosion.
