<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
Sp&eacute;l&eacute;o 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 &amp; 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">Elmh&ouml;hlensystem</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">Kaninchenh&ouml;hle</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">Elmh&ouml;hlensystem</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">Kaninchenh&ouml;hle</b>
(<a href="../../smkridge/161/top.htm">1623/161</a>)
area caves through GSCB's finds to the
<b lang="de">Stellerwegh&ouml;hlensystem</b>
(<a href="../../smkridge/41.htm">1623/41</a>).
