Caratteristiche

Località

The cave is located on a doline in the NE part of the Zalbide polje, below a ravine that is recognized because there is a yew tree that the locals call Aguiñano; it is about 300 metres downhill from the tree and another 300 mts uphill to the left, from Joaquín's borda. Another reference is that there is an elder tree at the entrance.

Descrizione

Morfologia

In the area the cueva de Sauco is not known by that name but by the name of Aunidi. It presents the formation of three galleries oriented 80 degrees E., 180 degrees S, and 190 S., the latter with a bifurcation at 260 degrees W. The cavity starts at two entrances: one on the left with N orientation, which has no development, with a small ramp and small chamber, which serves as a shelter, used since long ago by the shepherds of the area; to its right, in an E direction, it communicates with the other entrance through a narrow passage. The other entrance, the right-hand one, whose entrance has a NE orientation, begins with a ramp, is a large chamber with old formations, blackened walls, floor plates and inactive gours. To the right of the chamber a block collapse can be seen that makes its continuity impossible. In this chamber the floor and walls are blackened by possible bonfires.

Concrezioni

In the small chamber reached after the crawlway there are many formations (Speleothems): stalactites, stalagmites, columns, flowstone, banderolas and gours, also clay and sediments.

Idrologia

In the left area there is a zone of gours with water, formations and a crawlway, although it is impossible to continue because of its small dimensions.

Progressione

In the large chamber, before reaching the back on the left, there is continuity through a narrow crawlway with water of about 5 or 6 metres with formations from its beginning, bone remains are found and a small chamber with many formations is reached.

Altri dettagli

In this chamber we find the presence of bats.
