The FSE was present with 4 Bureau members at Speleo Austria in Tauplitz, Styria. The meeting was from 26 to 29 October 2023. A perfect organization with days filled with excursions and presentations in a great atmosphere. The FSE presented it’s exhibition of 30 years FSE and also the FSE shop was present.
The members of the FSE Bureau also went on an excursion to the Sagtümpel karst spring in Tauplitz, Styria, Austria. This karst spring has been renaturated and received the EuroSpeleo Protection Label in 2017 from the European Cave Protection Commission of the FSE. It was great to see the final result of this renaturation project ourselves. And thanks to Robert Seebacher, one of the initiators of this project to guide us.
