description
The cave has an inconspicuous double entrance, which is located around 40 m above the Lower Schießerbach Cave in a layered joint. The whole cave is traversed by a channel, which comes to the outside via a secondary route a little below the entrance. The numerous vortex pots of the cave, which initially move to the northeast and in the rearmost part to the north-northwest, are up to 1.8 m deep. 25 m before the first siphon, there is a 6 m high, but good-grip wall. There is a fixed rope anchored with bolts to make the ascent easier. This is followed by more siphons that can only be used by cave divers.
