A very large cave entrance, 20 minutes further on, is an old bivouac used by
-the Munich cavers, and a few minutes later, a strongly draughting (out in
-summer) tube about 5m in diameter is the main entrance to the Eishöhle. This was also the site of
-an old French bivouac, but must have been very cold. Continuing past a large
-snow-choked entrance and a couple of small holes, all in a cliff to the left,
-the path ends abruptly and unambiguously at the "new" entrance, also strongly
-draughting. This is between one and a half and two hours from the car park.

In this area and along the path beyond are a number of entrances, mainly
-discovered by CUCC and ARGE in their efforts to connect Eishöhle to
-Kaninchenhöhle.
This area was explored by CUCC in the early 1980's, and also by a large
-number of other groups at various periods. There are two main means of
-approach:
-
-
-
The 201 (Stoger Weg) path (which continues along
-the hillside into the adjacent Eishöhle
-area)
-
The "Nipple" (Weiße Warze) path leading to
-the higher entrances to the system.

As well as the caves constituting the master 40-41-78-115-116-142-144-161
-system, there are a number of smaller caves which have not (so far) been connected in [2016].

Further down the gully, dropping about 100m following a series of cairns,

-engineered traverse through an area of pine, then a series of scrambles and
-traverses (unpleasant in the wet) down to an area of recent stone fall in
