<p>A resurgence cave of major importance, visited by CUCC in 1976. Krenmayr
|
|
|
|
|
gives it 278m long, seasonally active, very roomy water cave. The associated
|
|
|
|
|
perennial resurgence is Naglbrünndl, putting out 50-100 l/s.

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
<p>Entrance is at the head of a large stream bed (carries major flow in
|
|
|
|
|
flood), and is reminiscent of Sleets Gill. The tube descends at 60° to
|
|
|
|
|
a short walk round a pool to a short greasy climb. One soon emerges in the
|
|
|
|
|
huge main passage, floored at the lower end by vast amounts of very
|
|
|
|
|
unpleasant mud. The sump is reached by a right turn over some fine
|
|
|
|
|
stratified sand, but CUCC's interest lay in some holes in the roof at the top
|
|
|
|
|
end, with the hope of a high-level continuation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The mud eventually runs out to be replaced by more and more inclined
|
|
|
|
|
slabs, which were very easy on the way up. The gradient steadily increases
|
|
|
|
|
until the floor merges into the end wall, and the trickle of water enters
|
|
|
|
|
from high up. At this point, a couple of holes in the roof have already
|
|
|
|
|
been passed, but investigation revealed these to be beyond reasonable
|
|
|
|
|
reach without some fairly serious bolting.
