Germany - Reiteralm New giant cave at Reiteralm (Bayerische Alpen) After the fall of 2005 was the combination of Eisrohrhöhle and Bammelschacht could the Eisrohrhöhle-Bammelschacht system (1337/118) in the current season on about 5 km a total length be explored and thus represents the first giant cave in the plateau of the Reiteralm dar. With 5804 m at a depth of 496 m , the cave system now ranks among the 10 longest and deepest caves in Germany. The recent increase in length was mainly in the southern continuation of the "giant cave levels" (1650 to 1700 m above sea level) recorded in the large-scale warehouses, and could be found for alpine conditions remarkable sinter deposits. In addition to the exploration of new territory currently supported by VdHK cave climate project is the focus of the research record, for the present 6 autonomous data logger temperature and wind direction data.

Austria - Mountains west of Dead - Hochkar brief report on the research camp Swabian cave researcher at Albert-Appel-Haus from 30.07.-08.05.2007:
the result of this year Folas is encouraging: nearly 1,200 new meters were documented cave.
In the cave Holden (1624/160) were 690m new course explores . The new discoveries were made mainly in the area last year discovered Serengeti and 6-k-what? In the middle depth range, remarkably, could also be behind a 1986 back left question marks in the upper area still found 190m. Here too, potential sequels were left open. The total length of the cave is now 5.820m Holden.
Directly at the eastern entrance of the cave passage at the speaker's Stone (1624/20) was found Pangalaktische Donnergurglerschacht . A continuation can bewetterte to new discoveries in the region between the cavity and the old boys' cave Holden (1627 / 3) hope.
The most positive development resulted in the beautiful Loch (1624/21) . The Ice Lake at the base of the lobby is open! The course has continued to attract the same dimensions, but unfortunately it ends soon in a ream Enver fall. Because daylighting we speculate on a similarly open connection to the twin well (1624/22). The research will continue here next year. In the
Altherren cave was finally the tomb, the continuation of the Southwest canyons measured. There we are in a backwater area, the floor, the walls and ceiling are covered with an ugly black layer. The course ends in a mud cone, the water disappears into a narrow impassable sequel. Again, a hope for a connection to Holden has broken cave. In the upper area of the Southwest canyons could be climbed one slot, but soon sinks into the sediment. A sequel is drawn up. The old boys cave is now 1856 m long. North of the house were
Appel visited several caves: cave bears' nests, the autumn cave, the Icarus cave and the labyrinth cave, here are remarkable rock carvings.

Austria - High Tauern - Kitzsteinhorn Feichtner Schacht (2573 / 3) grows to about 5.5 km: the 15th-31.3.2007 took place again the research KKTJ Krakow in Feichtner bay. Including the research director, Andrzej Ciszewski 13 people were involved. Starting from the bivouac to approximately-450m have been studied in the 2 weeks slightly more than 400 gears and shafts and measured . The length is now about 5.5 km. http://www.kktj.pl/index-en.html http://www.kktj.pl/artykuly/kitz07/przek-faj2007.pdf
Austria - Dachstein Update on the Dachstein - south wall cavity (1543/28) grows to over 10 km in length.
The survey and exploration of the south wall cavity is continuing. From 07th to 10 June 2007 led by Heidi André, Ernest Geyer, Peter and Robert Seebacher Jeutter further research and survey tour. goal of this tour was to investigate the possible continuations of the giants in the field course "Paläoenns" and their photographic documentation . This was in the lower section of this magnificent canal built the spa bivouac. Next, level and dry sandy soil, and absolutely no significant weather guide this camping site to make a 4-star cave district.
could from this base from the one accompanying Paläoenns, Canyon are active and duct system and survey on more than 750 m in length measured . A stream with considerable bulk flows through a particularly beautiful section of the cave. Although these parts were already committed their processing yielded some interesting and important information. several starting points for a possible circumvention of the end Lehmsiphons were found.
An excavation action in this oversized, the final Paläoenns Sedimentpfropfen enabled it to penetrate a few meters. Whether it is possible to overcome this powerful passage closure in this way, can be currently estimated as yet.
An extensive photo tour, in which mainly the 25 m wide, 15-20 m high and 400 m long Paläoenns, and about 100 m high curtain served as case subjects completed the work. Total
again a very nice and successful trip. The measured total length of the south wall cavity climbed to an impressive 10 107 m . (Robert Seebacher, 6.2007) Images / Robert Seebacher: first Giant Gang Paläoenns second at Veil Falls third at Veil Falls 4th Bivouac in Paläoenns
