< p > Within the Austrian kataster, area 1620 is the Western Totes
Gebirge. Area 1623 is the Loser - Augst-Eck plateau, bounded to the SE
by path 234 from the Wildenseehutte down to Altausseer See, to the south
by the lake itself, then to the SW by the road to Blaa-Alm. The Western
edge is marked by the valley of Grü ne Bichl, and the northern limit
is a rather arbitrary line across the limestone between the
Schö nberg and Neid Augst-Eck, not far beyond Tunnockschacht, then
down to the Wildenseehü tte. To the west and north of this line is
area 1626.< / p >

From the car park - now called "Loser Alm" and formerly just known as the
Bergrestaurant- good paths reach both the
2004-04-23 00:11:39 +01:00
southern slopes of Vd. Schwarzmooskogel, and also north to a col overlooking
the extensive pathless central plateau. Both the further reaches of the central
plateau and the areas around the Schö nberg, Gries Kogel and Augst-Eck
ridges are remote - being large pathless areas of rough karren with little or

no water supplies except for snowmelt. The Stone-Bridge bivi site between the Hinter Schwarmooskogel and
Neid Augst-Eck makes it practical to
expore this area.< / p >

< p > Within this area (1623), by far the majority of caves are above
1500m in an area from around Augst See, along the major ridge line of
Schwarzmooskogel towards Augst-Eck (forming a long strip on the SE of
the area), and across the plateau west of Schwarzmooskogel.< / p >

< p > There are approaching two hundred caves known at present in the area, so for
convenience, we have broken the area down into smaller areas, with a number of
related caves in each. Some of these areas are natural - separated by clear
geographic boundaries like big cliffs, or areas of non-karstic rocks. Others
are more arbitrary, and are defined more by route of access than by any real
geographical distinction. Apart from a few caves found in the first couple of
years, CUCC's work has been confined to just the first four of these smaller
areas, though the map overlaps onto most of the others.< / p >
