<h1>Kratzer valley</h1>

<p>The Kratzer valley is the main valley south from Schwarzmoossattel. However,
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
it is not the one followed by the path down to Bräuning Alm, which
|
2004-05-05 19:37:38 +01:00
|
|
|
traverses the east slopes of Bräuning Nase to reach a small col and slopes
|
|
|
|
|
west of Kratzer. The narrow valley itself may be entered at the top (north) end
|
|
|
|
|
by dropping below the path just after it leaves the Schwarzmoossattel. The
|
|
|
|
|
inner reaches are then relatively inaccessible, as they are separated from the
|
|
|
|
|
dwarf-pine covered slopes up to Bräuning Alm by a cliff band. Similarly,
|
|
|
|
|
cliffs on the other side isolate it from the SW slopes of Vorderer
|
|
|
|
|
Schwarmooskogel.</p>

|
|
|
<p>Consequently, few of CUCC have explored the valley since the initial trip of
|
|
|
|
|
1976, and most of the caves hereabouts have been entered by the local cavers
|
|
|
|
|
(at the north end). The locals were exploring and numbering caves around the
|
|
|
|
|
time when CUCC looked in the valley, and there is a suspicion that some of the
|
|
|
|
|
"Austrian" numbers refer to the same caves looked at by CUCC. However, the
|
|
|
|
|
supposed correlation between CUCC and kataster numbers mentioned in the
|
|
|
|
|
Austrian caving journal does not seem to be correct, from evidence gathered on
|
|
|
|
|
a visit in 1990, so CUCC's caves appear here with their original CUCC numbers,
|
|
|
|
|
pending more investigation.</p>
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>There is a suspicion that one of the German groups may have explored some
|
|
|
|
|
other entrances near the bottom of the valley (marked with red paint, but not
|
2004-05-05 19:37:38 +01:00
|
|
|
in the kataster), but we have no documentation on these.</p>
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2004-05-05 19:37:38 +01:00
|
|
|
<p>If the valley is followed down, it leads into a closed depression with a low
|
|
|
|
|
point at 1527m, not at all obvious from the map. A steep climb up leads to a
|
|
|
|
|
more level section, where a path materialises, to meet the marked path 201
|
|
|
|
|
(Stögerweg) as the north branch of a T-junction at c 1580m. Straight on
|
|
|
|
|
(initially south for a short way) is the Stellerweg area <a
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
href="../smkridge/via201.htm">approach route</a>, whilst right (west) is the
|
|
|
|
|
route from <a href="../egglgrub/index.htm">Egglgrube</a> and the
|
2004-05-05 19:37:38 +01:00
|
|
|
Bergrestaurant. The first part of this path into Kratzer from the south appears
|
|
|
|
|
to be well-used <b>only</b> because of people missing this T-junction and going
|
|
|
|
|
some way before realising the error.</p>
