Entrance shaft about 2 m in diameter, widening to 4 x 6 m for a 25 m vertical drop, ending at a muddy pool.
Description
Morphology
The mouth of the entrance shaft measures about 2 m in diameter. After about ten metres, following a short sloping step, the shaft shifts westward and widens to measure 4 x 6 m, for a further 25 m vertical drop.
At the bottom of the entrance shaft, the cavity continues along a bedding joint inclined at 50°, littered with scree, to die out at a muddy pool. A chimney also arrives at this terminal point.
Hydrology
The muddy pool held water on the day of the first visit. At the end of this pool, only a narrow continuation in the mud and mondmilch appears to be obstructed after about one metre.
Progression
At the bottom of the entrance shaft, the cavity continues along a bedding joint inclined at 50°, littered with scree, to die out at a muddy pool, at the end of which only a narrow continuation in the mud and mondmilch appears to be obstructed after about one metre.
Other details
No draught is noticeable at the bottom of the cavity.
