<p><b>Altitude:</b> c1580m<br>
located very near laser point 0/9 at E 35395.4 N (52)81044.6 H 1588.3
<b>Length:</b> 240m<br>
<b>Location:</b> Next to St&ouml;gerweg (path 201) somewhat beyond <a
href="28.htm">Augsteckh&ouml;hle</a> (Kat. 28).
<p>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.
<p><b>Exploration:</b> LVHK Wien, 1974
