The annual expedition of the working group was cave and karst grave Stetten of
4th - 08/08/2006 instead. With a total of 12 cavers were the research in the Black Moss Kogel-cavity system (SMK) system driven .
would actually be held the first week a little further north on meal Kogel. There has in recent years, the meal Kogel bay on a length of 679m explored at a depth of 372m and measured. On this research we could not tie due to bad weather. So we focused entirely on the further investigation of the SMK system. The
SMK system is known for its beautiful ice formations. The beginnings of the research dates back to the 1930s. worked since 1992 in addition to the Cambridge University Caving Club (CUCC), the Argentina grave Stetten the cave area. Both groups conduct research there as a sub-group of the local cave club for caving in Upper Styria (VHO). There is a close and good cooperation.
succeeded this year in the Stellerweghöhle (1623/41) the discovery of some passages related to Tony's Second Cave (1623/144). The extremely high transition density in the anterior part of the Stellerweghöhle is therefore also to the north continued. Thus, from the cave in the future expect a few new discoveries.
The highlight, however, were the discoveries in White-warts-bay (1623/143). There resulted a shaft line in a ramp area, as for the Stellerweghöhle and the Swabians bay (1623/78) is typical. The newly discovered passages are the Continuation of this fault zone and probably have come up with some surprises.
was the last day it even managed to find a connection to Stellerweghöhle so the white-warts-bay now for SMK-System is . This was only possible because the survey data analyzed on site and so are the starting point for a possible link was known.
The total length of the SMK system rose to 58 651 m at a constant depth of 1,030 m. (Robert Winkler, 2nd 2007)
