<p>More recently, exploration of <a href="../../smkridge/204/204.html">Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle (204)</a> has been the main focus of expedition work. Since 1999 it has yielded 9.1km of passage and is over 500m deep. It is anticipated that it will eventually connect to the Schwarzmooskogelh&ouml;hlensystem. Along the line between Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle and Kaninchenh&ouml;hle lies <a href="../../smkridge/234/234.html">Hauchh&ouml;hle (234)</a>, the scene of significant exploration in 2004; its length was quadrupled to 619m, and there is still much to be done in it.</p>
<p>A fresh project for 2004, the re-exploration of <a href="../../plateau/76/76.htm">Eislufth&ouml;hle (76)</a> was commenced; 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 Eislufth&ouml;hle lies <a href="../../plateau/145.htm">Wolfh&ouml;hle (145)</a>, a similarly underexplored cave, in which a week-long joint re-exploration with <a href="http://www.arge-grabenstetten.de/">Arge Grabenstetten</a> (a German caving group) has been arranged, to investigate any horizontal development which may be found near the surface.</p>
<p>
<a href="../../plateau/76/76.htm">Eislufth&ouml;hle</a> was found on the second
ever CUCC expedition to the area in 1977, when the explorers got
to -150m with the way on wide open. They pushed again in 1978, then in 1979
finally reached a sump at approximately -506m. They derigged and nobody
returned for a quarter of a century, until we took another look last
year. Starting with a list of 8 QMs gathered from old log books, the cave
now has 73 QMs and a <a href="../../plateau/76/76_final_col_small.png">surveyed
length of 1180m</a> (making it the third longest cave system CUCC has explored in the area!)

<h3>Stuff near 76</h3>
<p>I know nothing about this beyond what is in last year's logbook; apparently,
owing to Olly's GPS rather usefully forgetting all the coordinates, a bunch of
caves found in 2004 (2004-01 to 2004-09 inclusive) need refinding, along with
several older caves such as 108 and Tantalus Schacht.</p>
<ul>
<li>Jenny and Olly did a day's surface prospecting walking from the 76 bivi to
the local high point roughly to the West. Unfortunately the GPS randomly reset
and lost the coordinates so caves 2004-05 to 09 need relocating and tagging.
