General

For nearly thirty years CUCC has worked on exploring the Loser plateau, a vast expanse of limestone riddled with caves in the Totes Gebirge area of the Austrian Alps, roughly 80km ESE of Salzburg. Over this time CUCC has explored such notable caves as Kaninchenhöhle (161), Stellerweghöhle (41) and Schwarzmooskogel Eishöhle (40), caves now connected to form a system 56km long and over a kilometer deep; over half of which was contributed by CUCC.

More recently, exploration of Steinbrückenhöhle (204) has been the main focus of exploration. Since 1999 it has yielded 9.1km of passage and is over 500m deep. It is anticipated that it will eventually connect to the Schwarzmooskogelhoehlensystem. Along the line between Steinbrückenhöhle and Kaninchenhöhle lies Hauchhöhle (234), the scene of significant exploration in 2004, when its length was quadrupled to 619m, and it still has much to be done in it.

A fresh project for 2004, the re-exploration Eislufthöhle (76) was commenced, as earlier work was very much concentrated on vertical extension, rather than complete exploration. It lies in an interesting area, and early indications show that there is a lot of untapped horizontal potential. In the same area as Eislufthöhle lies Wolfhöhle (145), a similarly underexplored cave, in which a week-long joint re-exploration with Arge Grabenstetten (a German caving group) has been arranged, to investigate any horizontal development which may be found near the surface.
