Descrizione
Morfologia
The entrance to the cavity opens in a depression 20 x 13 metres in diameter and 10 metres deep. At this point a 5-metre drop places us at the head of a ramp that will lead us to a chamber at -35 metres. Through a rather narrow passage we reach a fissure with an average section of 0.8 x 8 metres and a depth of 10 metres. At the bottom of the shaft we find a new gallery, which is closed on one side and on the other allows us to descend a few metres until we are at a depth of -107 metres.
Idrologia
At the foot of the two century-old plane trees there is a small spring that dries up in times of drought.
Progressione
At this point a 5-metre drop places us at the head of a ramp that will lead us to a chamber at -35 metres. At this point, and through a rather narrow passage, we reach a fissure with an average section of 0.8 x 8 metres and a depth of 10 metres, where we find a shaft; on the other side of this the gallery continues for a few metres and widens, at which point we find a -12-metre shaft, the continuation of this sector ending at a depth of -71 metres. Back in the first shaft, this descends 45 metres until we find a small ramp, after which the shaft continues descending with much smaller dimensions, so no rope is needed to continue descending. At the bottom of this shaft we find a new gallery, which is closed on one side, and on the other allows us to descend a few metres until we are at a depth of -107 metres.
Storia
A cavity known since ancient times, since the flat area next to the entrance was used as a charcoal kiln. The first speleological explorations date back to 1963 by the SIRE of the UEC. In 1980 GEFOMA carried out a survey revision of the cavity, giving it a depth of -35 metres and a length of 57 metres, but a possible connection with the nearby Querant Gran de Paús was always considered. In 1996, F. Rubinat, who was part of the GEFOMA exploration team in 1980, while carrying out a solo exploration of the cavity observed a small air current at a point in the chamber; a few days later he returned with companions from the SIE, of which he was a member, to carry out the clearing and exploration of this new section of the cavity.
