+<p>In 2018 Robert Seebacher told us that recent diving had found a deeper funnel-shaped depression in the lake - with rocks at the bottom - where most of the resugence seemed to come from. It had been found because there had been an ice-free area in the lake during the preceding winter. So the story about small resurgences over an area seems to have missed the main outflow.

 <underground_description>The cave is a complex of hading rifts and steep ramps with several deep points. The deepest point is near the southern limit of the system. A vertical series with pitches of 9m, 15m, 17m and 13m reaches N&auml;gschtmol-Meander (1992), where the survey legs are all very short. This climbs slightly before heading south and dropping, passing Alexander der Gro&szlig;e (a generally level side passage heading southwest to Leopardencanyon, apparently beyond the known passages in <a href="../../1623/115.htm">Schnellzugh&ouml;hle</a>) to der gute Abgang (the good lead). A 7m pitch and more steep descents end at a point almost directly above the assumed line of Pete's Purgatory in Schnellzug, maybe a third of the way to the Confluence from where it is abandoned for the Purgatory Bypass. This small streamway lies perhaps 120-130m below Schwabenschacht's deep point, but it is known that several unsurveyed fossil phreatic passages lie above this upstream part of the Purgatory, so a connection could be quite close.</p><p>This description is now quite out of date as it does not include the its connection, nor entrances c,d and e.</underground_description>
