Nature · Folgoso do Courel, Quiroga, Lugo

Image of Folgoso do Courel, not of the place itself.

A cave with an 840-metre passage located in Noceda, in Folgoso do Courel, near the boundary with Pedrafita do Cebreiro, through which flows a small stream rising from an underground lagoon; it is one of the largest in the Courel karst along with the cova de Tralacosta. Inside, fossils of Quaternary fauna have been found, including remains of cave bears, following several explorations carried out since the 1980s. It forms part of the Courel Geopark, and since 2015 visiting it has required permission from the Xunta de Galicia.
