Alt: 1582m N81035 E35394 Fix type: Surface survey Fix position: No idea Point name: p031

Location: Next to Stögerweg (path 201) somewhat beyond Augsteckhöhle (Kat. 28). Located very near laser point 0/9.

Underground Description: 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.
