Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

A low cave entrance without specified shape or dimensions faces an unidentified direction and leads to three parallel and, upon entering, ascending cave passages. Altogether an estimated 150 m long, the cave is suspected to connect with the first –>Istripura Cave (Welimada): … deux grottes qui communiquent peutêtre entre les elles. On pénètre dans la première par une entrée basse qui donne accès à 3 couloirs (STRINATI & AELLEN 1981: 459).
