Between 6th and 15th of August, a group of five hungarian cavers held their yearly summer camp in Prozmit area, Albania, Beshkjet e Nemuna. This year the team managed to break trough the bottom of -194m deep cave “Hiúz”, and pushed it to -350m. Currently this is the deepest cave explored by hungarians in the massif. The cave consists of deep shafts with large diameter, a partially explored fossil gallery at -300m, and an active, with small amount of water (10l/sec) flowing to the north. A promising plateau was also visited above Nikc village. Exploration will continue next summer.
