<p>NB. this entrance to the main system really should have a name.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Altitude:</b> 1615.1m
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Location:</b> Hack up the hillside behind <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="../noinfo/smkridge/32.htm">Windloch</a> (Kat.32).
|
|
|
|
|
The entrance was prominently numbered '132' in red but this
|
|
|
|
|
was finally changed in 1996 after the connection to
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="78.htm">Schwabenschacht</a> (1623-78)<br>
|
|
|
|
|
E 35770.4 N (52)81218.2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Yet another entrance to <a href="41.htm">Stellerweghöhle</a>, with
|
|
|
|
|
two points of connection, and also the first point of connection with
|
|
|
|
|
Schwabenschacht, a similar cave explored by <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://arge.itvd.uni-stuttgart.de/">Arbeitsgemeinschaft Höhle
|
|
|
|
|
und Karst Grabenstetten e.V.</a>. 142 contains a very large chamber,
|
|
|
|
|
imaginatively named <b>The Big Chamber</b> reached by a 34m pitch from a
|
|
|
|
|
point adjacent to the connection. A <a href="41/off41.htm#ent142">full
|
|
|
|
|
description</a> of 142 (but not 78) is one of the components of the
|
|
|
|
|
Stellerweghöhle guidebook, just an overview is given here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Note: With apparent perversity, the Austrians have numbered this as 115e
|
|
|
|
|
in their Kataster. This is likely to give rise to immense confusion in the
|
|
|
|
|
long term as more caves are connected, and numbers on entrances cannot
|
|
|
|
|
readily be altered (owing to the obscurity of their location and
|
|
|
|
|
inaccessibility from within the system).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>After an initial small tube, the cave opens into passages very similar to
|
|
|
|
|
those in Schwabenschacht and the upper levels of Stellerweghöhle.
|
|
|
|
|
Descent of some of the steep ramps to the right of the main way on may
|
|
|
|
|
provide further connections into the main cave (and one may have already done
|
|
|
|
|
so). However, staying high leads through tubes to an inobvious junction. Left
|
|
|
|
|
is the connection to 78, whilst right leads immediately to the head of a
|
|
|
|
|
pitch into the <b>Big Chamber</b> - a popular name in the system. A route
|
|
|
|
|
from this chamber leads to the foot of an 18m pitch in the entrance series of
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="41.htm">Stellerweghöhle</a>, and a more obscure route through
|
|
|
|
|
boulders from the head of the Big Chamber pitch leads to the same place.
