Caratteristiche

Località

Access is gained by taking the path that ascends from Amutxate to the Oiarbide-Beloki col. Once the climb is over and the flat area is reached, one enters the larch forest flanked on the right by the limestone bar and the Beloki beech wood. Follow the cattle track that crosses the forest and, after passing in front of OI-22, a clearing opens in the forest at the first large depression where a small spring sinks. At the very western edge of the pine wood and the basin, two small holes open, one of them marked as OI-28.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The two entrance openings are located ten metres from each other. The initial entrance leads to an active gallery with very slow progress owing to its small size. The second entrance, discovered from inside, leads to another gallery somewhat larger than the original. The cavity, on a narrow slope, leads to a 140-metre vertical drop, the largest absolute vertical drop in Aralar, with a total of -240 metres.

Progressione

Both openings were the object of clearing. The initial entrance was cleared in a few hours. The second entrance was discovered from inside and, because its dimensions are somewhat larger than the original, it allows substantially faster progress, which is why it has been the most used.
