<p><b>Location</b>: In the south flank of <span lang="fr">Feuertal</span> on
|
|
|
|
|
the north side of <span lang="de">Schönberg. Kataster</span> says west
|
|
|
|
|
of <span lang="de">Schönberg,</span> east of
|
|
|
|
|
<span lang="de">Franzosenschacht,</span> 1626/119.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>From the <span lang="fr">Quelli</span> entrance, pitches p8, p19, p83,
|
|
|
|
|
p33, p24, p17, p5, p33, p24, p9, p33, p27, p103 lead to -400m. Here one
|
|
|
|
|
reaches a vast passage going up and downhill. The downstream passage emerges
|
|
|
|
|
at the top of an 84m pitch. Below this a winding canyon interspersed with
|
|
|
|
|
small pitches gives onto a 15m pitch and the end of exploration in 1976 at
|
|
|
|
|
-708m.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The lower entrances lead by large phreatic passages to pitches which drop
|
|
|
|
|
into a further large horizontal level which undulates between -410m and
|
|
|
|
|
-500m. At -497m, this links to the main vertical system from
|
|
|
|
|
<span lang="fr">Quelli.</span> Using these lower ways in, exploration reached
|
|
|
|
|
a sump at -913m in 1977. Following the large phreatic level away from
|
|
|
|
|
<span lang="fr">Quelli</span> goes for about a kilometre before breaking into
|
|
|
|
|
the side of a colossal shaft at -414m. This is a 211m pitch to a choke at
|
|
|
|
|
-625m. There is a possible way on across this shaft, which is, however, 20m
|
|
|
|
|
in diameter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The Austrian expedition of 1985 found a 3km horizontal passage, which
|
|
|
|
|
brought the total length of the system to 15km.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In early 1997 the length was given as 19 808 m

<p><b>Discovery</b>: Found in 1973 by
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="../../others/gsab/index.htm"><span lang="fr">Groupe
|
|
|
|
|
Spéléo Alpin Belge</span></a> under the name T3, but not pushed
|
|
|
|
|
to any depth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Exploration</b>: Rediscovered in July 1976 by
|
|
|
|
|
<span lang="fr">J.M.Piron</span> and explored from 12th to 23rd of July by
|
|
|
|
|
<span lang="fr">A.C.Toulon, S.C.Toulon, Lou Darbon & Spéléo
|
|
|
|
|
Ragaie</span> to a depth of 708m. Later sources refer to this group as 'an
|
|
|
|
|
unheard of group of <span lang="fr">"Spéléos
|
|
|
|
|
Provençaux"'.</span><br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The same group in 1977 discovered the two lower entrances, using them to
|
|
|
|
|
explore to the bottom at -913m.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Austrian expedition of 1985 set out to connect
|
|
|
|
|
<span lang="de">Feuertalsystem</span> to
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="55.htm"><span lang="de">Raucherkarhöhle</span></a> and found a
|
|
|
|
|
large horizontal passage, but no connection.
