Description

Michael Laumanns - 28/11/2015

The biggest pit with a diameter of 2 m can be descended by means of a steel rope ladder along tree roots. It opens into a flat round room with some small but nice stalactites. To the N another round room with a daylight opening in the roof is reached. This room has a small adjacent alcove with a third daylight opening. Only a few bats were seen in the cave. No conglomerate infillings are present. An air temperature of 20,4°C was measured.
