description
The T-cave is a layer joint cave with a narrow, up to 2 m deep eroded channel, in which the cave stream flows. Above that there is a horizontal space that gives the cave a pronounced T-profile. The cave stream disappears a few meters from the inconspicuous small entrance in the block. From the entrance the cave extends in its main direction to the northwest, initially with a conspicuous T-profile, only in the rear half is the spatial development larger. The end of the cave forms a siphon .
