<p><b>Altitude:</b> 1615m Length 390m, extent 140m SW-NE, Depth +20m -11m
<p><b>Map:</b> 21.8 cm E, 17.75 cm N, OAV sheet 15/1
<p><b>Location:</b> At the south foot of Loser (visible from Altaussee).
Reached by traversing west from the Loser path as it draws level with the
cliffs.
<p>The round 8m wide by 10m high entrance leads into an upper level, the
Hauptgang, leading north then northeast to Regenhalle, a sizeable chamber
apparently formed on a significant SW-NE joint. Immediately right at the
start of the chamber, a boulder slope leads up into Teilungshalle, from
where a wider slope drops left back into Regenhalle about halfway along.
At the highest point of Teilungshalle, a SE-going passage quickly chokes
with boulders, but appears to be heading directly for the end of Kleines
Loserloch, perhaps 10m away.
<p>Keeping to the right (SW) wall entering Teilungshalle, a rift leads SW.
A passage left after 5m quickly ends too tight. A traverse to the left
hand side bypasses a 5m shaft in the floor. 15m beyond, another lead
on the left leads up into a small chamber, Kapelle. The continuing rift,
S&uuml;dwest-Kluft, gets narrower for c 25m until deemed impassable.
<p>Back in Regenhalle, a narrow section along the joint between the two ways
to Teilungshalle, gives access to a lower series via a sharp turn to the
right, due south. This wide passage, S&uuml;dwest-gang, passes under
Teilungshalle, and turns SW directly under S&uuml;dwest-Kluft. A narrow rift
on the left parallels the main passage for some way. The main way develops
into Gr. Dom, 12m wide, with a boulder slope up until the passage chokes
comprehensively on a broad front, almost exactly below the cliff outside.
<p>At the far (NE) end of Regenhalle, stright on enters a draughting boulder
choke, but two ways up to the right lead into Stufengang, with a complex
of little rifts and an extension NE to a low choked area.
