Caratteristiche

Località

Cavity located in the vicinity of the de la Peña de Orobe in Alsasua (Navarra). After 4 km from Alsasua, an abandoned quarry is seen on the left. To reach it, it is necessary to cross the Altzania river over a bridge and take a local track leading to Olazagutia. The railway passes very close to the quarry. Another possible access route is by taking this local track from Olazagutia. After barely 200 metres south of the quarry and taking the track towards Olazagutía, on the right there is a path towards the W leading to the summit of the mountain. It is rather a timber track, which climbs a very steep slope in one go.

Descrizione

Morfologia

Once almost 120 metres of elevation gain have been overcome at the contact between the sandstones and the Cretaceous limestone, a path starts towards the north that more or less follows the contour line and leads us, after about 300 metres, to a small blind valley where a stream coming from impermeable terrain infiltrates and meets the limestone, forming a large doline.

Idrologia

Inside the doline, the waters coming from impermeable terrain infiltrate, which in the past would have done so through other cavities.
