True 1623-31 Elchhöhle 1623 2a 2/T + 31 1623-31 LVHK Wien, 1974 Mainly horizontal and going northish under the path. A large phreatic tube in horizontally bedded limestone. Visited by Andy Waddington, Doug Florence with Karl Gaisberger on August 12th, 1978. Latter person collected a rare cave beetle from it (only the second specimen of this species collected in Austria, if we understood Karl correctly), which I think is now in the Natural History Museum in Vienna, having been pickled in Vodka borrowed from an expedition member. Name comes from discovery of Elk bones when first explored. In dataset caves/31/31.svx noinfo/smkridge/31.htm noinfo/smkridge/31.htm
