<p><b>Altitude</b>: 865m<br>
<b>Location</b>: Above Rettenbachtal (north side).<br>
Easily reached on foot from Blaa-Alm, even when drunk
<p>A resurgence cave of major importance, visited by CUCC in 1976. Krenmayr
gives it 278m long, seasonally active, very roomy water cave. The associated
perennial resurgence is Naglbr&uuml;nndl, putting out 50-100 l/s.
<p>Entrance is at the head of a large stream bed (carries major flow in
flood), and is reminiscent of Sleets Gill. The tube descends at 60&deg; to
a short walk round a pool to a short greasy climb. One soon emerges in the
huge main passage, floored at the lower end by vast amounts of very
unpleasant mud. The sump is reached by a right turn over some fine
stratified sand, but CUCC's interest lay in some holes in the roof at the top
end, with the hope of a high-level continuation.
<p>The mud eventually runs out to be replaced by more and more inclined
slabs, which were very easy on the way up. The gradient steadily increases
until the floor merges into the end wall, and the trickle of water enters
from high up. At this point, a couple of holes in the roof have already
been passed, but investigation revealed these to be beyond reasonable
reach without some fairly serious bolting.
