    20.04.2019 - It was not easy to find the Ruprechtsloch, there were currently big tree felling. You will find it if you are on the forest road (the photo there are tree trunks) direction Knoll hut, it goes left the trail into the valley and at this fork in the middle surrounded by trees actually unsecured the Ruprechtsloch with a vertical crash of 15 meters.

      20.04.2019 - Ruprechtsloch (about 1300 m) - The Ruprechtsloch opens with a vertical crash of 15 meters about 10 minutes below the otter peak, near the Knoll Hut. The length extension corresponds to the continuous gap. In this two different joints open at different angles. This results in a shaft-like space formation. Descending over collapsed tree trunks and the debris cone, you reach a ganglike continuation, but after 17 meters, the gap closes. At the end of the corridor fossil Sintnerbildungen. Recent bones were recovered (undetermined) between the tree trunks.

Frightened by the sound, which was thrown back from the walls, the friends let go of the rope and ran away. The man fell down to the bottom of the cave and remained unconscious .......
