# Loser Augst-Eck Plateau - view from Bräuning Nase

Above Top camp, the steep slopes of the Bräuning Nase can be climbed via a shallow gully. At the north end of its short ridge, by hacking through dwarf pine, Laser Point 0/7 can be found, in an entertaining position perched over the cliff down to the Schwarzmoossattel. The actual summit is at the south end of the ridge, and views of the plateau from anywhere on the top are restricted by the clinging pines. This view is from the shoulder above the ascent gully, in a grassy area.

The lower site of Top Camp is in the brown and green area just left of lower centre. Behind this, an area of limestone karren with noticeable diagonal scarps is the location of 1623/171 whilst to the right and nearer is another patch of bare karren containing B11, 164 and 189. Hinterer Schwarzmooskogel is the peak on the skyline on the right, and Kaninchenhöhle's top entrance lies some way off the right hand edge of the picture on the horizon.
