Mission Statement
The Schwarzmooskogel system is the most extensive cave system below the Loser Plateau, that, if connected, would bring up a total length of around 100 km and a depth of over 1 km. Of this CUCC has contributed by surveying over 65 km.
In 2011 a breakthrough was made by connecting Tunnockschacht (258) with Steinbrückenhöhle (204), creating a system of the combined length of 28 km. The main aim of this year's expedition will be to connect Kaninchenhöhle (161), which is part of the Schwarzmooskogel system, to the Tunnockschacht-Steinbrückenhöhle system (258/204), which will create a combined system exceeding 90 km.
During the 2009/2011 expeditions, CUCC returned to the furthest reaches of the northern part of Kaninchenhöhle, replaced permanent rigging and continued surveying where the original exploration had left off in the 1990s. This area is now within 45 m of the 258/204 system. The description of the cave from both sides, leads us to assume that a connection should possible during this coming expedition.
