After traditional visit to Helga in Salzburg and as painful as always transports expedition filled a camp which was located nearby the entrance of Ogrschacht. During expedition:

In Ogrschacht in Do Skrzata meander new wide passages were found ( 250 meters). Exploration wasn't finished
Among a dozen of new discoveried caves most interesting were W101 Martahöhle and W40 Sniezna hohle both deepened to more than 100 m.
In Barenstuhlhöhle 100 m of new were discoveried but main problem remain still opened.

Because of high level of snow exploration in Möndhöhle didn't start.
