Under the 1623 heading you will see a lot of caves numbered with 2 or 3 digits, e.g. 115 Schnellzughöhle and many more labelled with a year number and some letters and numbers, e.g. 2015-DL-02 Chossy Death Slope Höhle. The former are the Austrian kataster official numbers, the latter are CUCC Expo numbers which are either for caves too insignificant to be issued an official number, or where we have not yet got around to doing the paperwork.

We still (2023) use numbered alloy tags, but there is a move to replace this with a properly-managed and accessible GPS system. However the ~5m practical accuracy of the GPS, the multitude of holes within 5m and difficulty of accessing the entrance locations online on the plateau, mean that tags are still very useful; but we need photos of the tags showing exactly where they are around the pit. +
Note that tags are all in UPPER CASE for the simple reason that we have only one set of letter punches and they are only capital letters.
From 1996, we have had to abandon the system (which we believed
