Gouffre Berger, June 2001



Home


Spekul in the Berger
After a two years ban on caving in Gouffre Berger, the village of Engins again authorised trips to this world famous cavity as of June 2001. Our club happened to be the first one on the list of 'new' visitors!
After being visited by Spekul in the pre-SRT era, the next generation of Homines spekulienses took the opportunity to revisit this beauty.
