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.

Already he had come down a long way into the dark gullet, when fear changed him and loudly he called to drag him up. 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 .......
