<h1>CUCC Austria Expeditions: Primer</h1>

<table class="trad"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:0 30px">
<p>The annual CUCC expedition to Austria lasts around five weeks each summer
and concentrates mainly on new exploration in the high alpine karst of the
<span lang="de-at">Loser</span> plateau (about 80km E of <span
lang="de-at">Salzburg).</span> The current main projects are:</p>

<dd>the most major cave in the area <em>not</em> to have been connected to the
master <span lang="de-at">Schwarzmooskogel</span> system, and the principal
focus of CUCC's work since 2000. At the end of Expo 2008 it had been explored
to 622m in depth and 16km in length.</dd>

exploring side passages or with accurate surveying; hence a return and

long, and 1033m deep, of which around two-thirds of the length (and the highest
and deepest points) were explored by CUCC. CUCC has not been directly involved
in exploration in the system itself since 2002, but we will be
returning in 2009 (via Kaninchenh&ouml;hle) to seek a connection
with Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle.</dd>

<p>Over a hundred shorter caves have also been explored and
recorded over the twenty year history of expo, and prospecting for new
entrances is still an important activity.</p>

<p>So much for the executive summary, but what does that mean for the new
expo member? What is actually involved in going on expo?</p>
