Germknödel

The 9m pitch from Sauerkraut lands on a sloping rock floor. A short clamber down leads to a chamber with multiple ways on. A pitch in the floor [QM 06-25 A] and small passage to the north [QM 06-26 C] have not been explored. There are two main ways on.

Left (southwest) is a stooping-height phreatic passage which slopes down past small passages to the west [QM 06-29 C] and east [QM 06-27 C] [QM 06-28 C] to the head of Pantin Sales Pitch (2.9sec drop but also v. wide and long) with an aven above [QM 06-32 X]. Shortly before the pitch head is a crawl on the left with bat droppings, leading to another window onto the same pitch and a passage beyond – Sleeping Beauty. In the northwest corner at the pitch head is the entrance to C Lead Jackpot.

Back in the chamber, straight ahead (north) leads past a blind pit in the floor to a section of passage with a sloping floor. There is a climbable hole in the floor (handline required) [QM 06-34 B] with a climb up in the opposite wall [QM 06-33 C]. Beyond this the passage emerges part-way down a large sloping ramp pitch. Descending this pitch leads to Apfelstrudel. The pitch could also potentially be climbed up [QM 06-36 B].
