Description
Morphology
With a currently proven 4382 metres, the cave ranks 18th among the caves of Germany by total length and 4th in Baden-Württemberg.
Hydrology
The Mordloch is a water-bearing cave – in technical terms: an active vadose cave. The water emerging at the surface flows via the Mühlbach, which runs parallel to it in its floodplain, into the Eyb after about one kilometre at the Obere Roggenmühle.
Progression
The cave can be traversed in the front section with simple equipment, but from the first sump after 80 metres diving equipment is required. As with all active water caves, traversing it is very dangerous and should only be undertaken by experienced cavers.
