1623 / 2023-mg-03 Kalte Salamanderhöhle -

Underground Description

Cold Salamander Cave is formed along an obvious surfacee weakness going from SW to NE. In 2023 the most south westely entrance (A), could be down climbed for 2m to a snow pile. This was descended with the aid of a handline into a significant chamber. A few metres to the North East another shaft (B) also entered but with a pitch down to the snow slope. The chamber is deorated with several 4m long icicles and a stationary Salamander.

To the North East of the chamber a bould strewn passage, skirted by ice flows and icicles.

The passage leads to more snow piles, produced from the two north easterly entance pitches (C and D). Carrying on a phreatic tube QM1 can be seen descending and becoming blocked with snow.
