</li>
<li><b>Eislufth&ouml;hle</b> originally explored in the very early days of CUCC expeditions in the late seventies, to a depth estimated at 506m. The original explorers simply concentrated on getting to the bottom and were not unduly concerned with
exploring side passages or with accurate surveying; hence a return and
reexploration was began in 2004, and continued in 2005, 2006 and 2007.</li>

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.</li>
