Altitude: 1580m

Location: In Kratzer valley, some way up valley from Fledermaushöhle (Kat.71).

The first step is sprayed by meltwater, and the second step leads to -30m. A short rope leads to the next step. A rift follows an acute angle under the entrance way, some metres back. This section is very narrow, and over the narrow section pours a showerbath. Now a second squeeze leads to a fine pitch which bends back under the previous section. Then it gets complicated (the language, not the cave). It sounds like a series of either roomy or narrow wet pitches. Exploration appears to cease at -60m because of water down the neck and in the suit. It isn't clear if the cave actually stops at this point.

Exploration: Discovered by K Gaisberger and F Hütter in August 1973 (to -30m) Sektion Ausseerland, 1977 (Karl Gaisberger + Edith Bednarik)
