<p>From the earliest days of CUCC's involvement in Austria, we heard reports
|
|
|
|
of deep caves being explored by French Group(s). We were aware that several
|
|
|
|
caves explored by the Belgian <a href="../gsab/index.htm" lang="fr">Groupe
|
|
|
|
Spéléo Alpin Belge</a> had been found by French, including
|
|
|
|
<span lang="fr">Denis Motte</span>, whose name seemed to crop up in various
|
|
|
|
places.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This group worked in the 1626 area (<b lang="de">Feuertal</b>) in 1974
|
|
|
|
(<b lang="de">Ahnenschacht</b> with <span lang="fr">GS Doubs & SC
|
|
|
|
Vesoul</span>), and later (1975,77) worked in the <b lang="de">Tauplitz</b>
|
|
|
|
area to our east with finds including the impressive
|
|
|
|
<b lang="de">Nordwandschacht</b>, containing a huge chamber (320x80x60m).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>During the eighties, they visited the
|
|
|
|
<b lang="de">Elmhöhlensystem</b> (touristed by CUCC in
|
|
|
|
<a href="../../years/1976/report.htm#elmh">1976</a> and
|
|
|
|
<a href="../../years/1977/report.htm#elmh">1977</a>). The results of this
|
|
|
|
work are described in <b lang="fr">Spelunca</b> number 26 (April/June
|
|
|
|
1987) pp 10-11 (CTS 88.1407).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Towards the end of this period, the group also had some members exploring
|
|
|
|
on the <b lang="de">Vorderer Schwarzmooskogel</b>, who found
|
|
|
|
<b lang="de">Larchenschacht</b>
|
|
|
|
(<a href="../../noinfo/smkridge/88.htm">1623/88</a>).
|
|
|
|
The whole expedition worked in this area (from 1987?). Various important
|
|
|
|
connections were made, of which we have very little information to date. We
|
|
|
|
do know that they also explored various entrances further north towards
|
|
|
|
<b lang="de">Hinterer Schwarzmooskogel</b>, including one of the entrances to
|
|
|
|
<b lang="de">Kaninchenhöhle</b>
|
|
|
|
(<a href="../../smkridge/161/top.htm">1623/161</a>), into the area CUCC now
|
|
|
|
knows as "France". However, they abandoned this particular cave on the
|
|
|
|
assumption that it would connect into CUCC's caves. From 1991, the group
|
|
|
|
returned to the <span lang="de">Elmhöhlensystem</span>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The group publish a journal "<b lang="fr">Beaunes et Empoues</b>"
|
|
|
|
(issue number 10 was published in 1993), from which the above summary is
|
|
|
|
derived.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Contact was finally made with <span lang="fr">Denis Motte</span> at the
|
|
|
|
International Speleological Congress in the Swiss Jura in 1997, so CUCC are
|
|
|
|
looking forward to an era of cooperation in connecting the
|
|
|
|
<b lang="de">Kaninchenhöhle</b>
|
|
|
|
(<a href="../../smkridge/161/top.htm">1623/161</a>)
|
|
|
|
area caves through GSCB's finds to the
|
|
|
|
<b lang="de">Stellerweghöhlensystem</b>
|
|
|
|
(<a href="../../smkridge/41.htm">1623/41</a>).
