Hi David,
re: Jungholz, AT: thanks for your research on this phantastic
geographical "blowhole" - or gap. I just received my topo-
map on Jungholz (1:25.000). This map clearly gives evidence
of Jungholz being connected to the rest of Austria by a very
narrow gateway of 10-20 meters... yes, an expedition to that
point could very well be part of next year's GCEBE...!
The area seems quite accessible to me, there's a track
leading all the way to m"our" spot!!!
Best regards
Peter
