One exits Strudel Crawl to find the large, sloping passage of Ribs with Knödel.
Right (downhill) is the route to the rest of the cave. In this direction, a hole in the floor is passed [QM 06-14 C], before a much larger hole right across the passage is reached. A rope belayed to bolts on the left side of the passage enables a descent to be made to a point where it is possible to climb down, behind and around a rock pillar to complete the crossing of the hole. There is a passage leading back under the pitch at this point [QM 06-15 C]. A passage to the left leads to Apfelstrudel and Oompah.
After the hole, a sloping traverse is crossed; water enters from the roof here. At the start of the traverse, a steep ramp on the right accesses Boulder Surfer that ultimately leads to Ducks on Ice and Stone Monkey. From here a long ramp downwards, protected by a rope belayed to a large thread over towards the left, enables a descent towards the right wall to reach the traverse of Caramel Catharsis. On the left two passages are passed leading to Apfelstrudel and Oompah. The traverse follows the right wall, still sloping down and passing series of holes in that wall that lead to Stone Monkey). The traverse ends in a pitch of a few metres that lands on a sandy floor in an impressive chamber.

On exiting Strudel crawl, left leads past an alternative exit from Strudel crawl with a hole in the floor [QM 06-40 C]. The passage heads uphill passing the entrance to Alphabet Soup on the right after 8m [THIS BIT DESCRIBED WITH ALPHABET SOUP]. After a further 30m the main passage ends in a boulder choke. A draughting passage on the right here leads to Sauerkraut.
