CAVING PUBLICATIONS
During the course of the year I receive many foreign caving publications. Usually I just skim through them. Catalogue them and file them away. Today, it is raining and having nothing better to do, I am going to read them from cover to cover.
Laichinger H?hlenfreund /Zeitschrift f?r Karst-m und H?hlenkunde [Laichinger Cave Friend / Newsletter for Karst and Cave Science] Vol 54 2019 84 pp, illus.
To save time I have translated the titles. A few of the articles have English summaries.
Contributions to the 10th Symposium ?Karstification in Southern Germany " 23nd November 2019 in Laichingen,
A series of five papers. Most of the titles are self explanatory:
Results of the U/Th dating from Erdmannsh?hle, Dinkelberg.
Filled with sandstone, Palaeokarst in the M?lbachquell Cave (Southern Franken Alb, Bavaria)
Experience driving the Albabstieg tunnel along the Palaeo -Weissjurasurface (NBS Wendlingen Ulm)
On the morphology of the Laichingen Tiefenh?hle.
"Honeycomb corrosion" - description of a previously unknown solution form in caves.
Short caving reports:
Contents, overview
Geosciences internet platform "LGRBwissen" now online.
New art from the ice age - 15,000 year old female figure recovered in the Ostalbkreis.
New finds in the hollow rock provide insights into the use of ochre in the Palaeolithic age.
Goodbye to the karst circuit (1986 - 2019) (Wolfgang Ufrecht)
Falkensteiner H?hle is a geopoint
Current state of research in the Blue Cave (7524130, Swabian Alb)
150 miles to Lechuguilla Cave (New Mexico, USA)
25 years AGF Baden-Wuerttemberg e.V. - a look back at the formation.
150 years Alb water care.
Hessenhau Cave is 8,365 m long
I thing most of the title are self explanatory. As a side note the caving club own the show cave - Laichingen Tiefenh?hle [Laichingen Deep Cave] It is 1372 m long and 90 m deep. That is a load of steps on the way out. I know. I have been there!

Mitteilungen des Verbandes der deutschen H?hlen- und Karstforscher e, V [Newsletter of the Federation of the German Cave and Karst Explorers] Vol 66 No 1 + 2 2020. Usually published quarterly, but this issue cover two quarters! With English summaries.
Editorial
The new solidarity fund
This a sober account of the costs of cave rescue abroad. In Austria, rescue worker are claiming 300 EURO an hour and private cave rescue insurance does not cover this. Therefore the Federation has set up is own cave rescue fund.
Other articles are as follows
Windhole in M?hlenberg near Engelskirchen-R?nderoth. A report of the first exploration season 2019. After over 30 years of searching the area they finally came up triumphs. A dig produce 6 km of cave passage..
Determining the location of underground cavities using avalanche search devices (LVS).
The sediments of the Bl?tterteigh Cave at Aschtoph [Spring] Baden- W?rttetenberg.
Revision of the bat fauna (Chiroptera) from the karst of the Sudmerberg-2 in Goslar, Lower Saxony.
