<h1>Area 1626: <span lang="de-at">Rauher - Schönberg</span></h1>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Within the Austrian kataster, area 1620 is the Western
|
|
|
|
|
<span lang="de-at">Totes Gebirge</span>. Area 1623 is the
|
|
|
|
|
<span lang="de-at">Loser - Augst-Eck</span> plateau (including CUCC's area)
|
|
|
|
|
and 1626 is the area to the north and northwest. Starting from
|
|
|
|
|
<span lang="de-at">Rettenbachtal</span> (the valley just beyond
|
|
|
|
|
<span lang="de-at">Blaa-Alm</span>, at the end of the left branch at the
|
2022-03-10 22:53:22 +00:00
|
|
|
start of the <span lang="de-at"><a href="../handbook/tollrd.htm">Loser
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
Panoramastraße</a></span>), everything to the north and west of the
|
2004-04-30 22:56:57 +01:00
|
|
|
valley of <span lang="de-at">Grüne Bichl</span>, is in 1626. The boundary
|
|
|
|
|
then follows the ridge crest of <span lang="de-at">Schönberg</span>, then
|
|
|
|
|
a rather ill-defined line to the <span lang="de-at">Wildenseehütte</span>.
|
|
|
|
|
To the east here is area 1627, and the eastern border of 1626 turns north.</p>

|
|
|
|
|
<p>There are a number of very significant systems within the area, only one
|
|
|
|
|
of which has been visited by CUCC, as they tend to be difficult of access, or
|
|
|
|
|
very much reserved to the Austrian cavers. The latter applies particularly

2004-04-30 22:56:57 +01:00
|
|

to <b lang="de-at"> <a id="id55"

2004-04-30 22:56:57 +01:00

entrances near the <b lang="de-at">Ischler Hütte</b>, accessible by paths
|
|
|
|

from <b lang="de-at">Rettenbach</b>. This is well documented on the website of

the corresponding Austrian caving club, the <a

2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00

steep climbs up from the north to the <b lang="de-at">Ebenseer

<p>Both French and Belgian cavers, associated with the <a

|
|
href="../others/gsab/index.htm">GSAB</a> explored a series of deep systems in

the seventies - about the same time that CUCC first visited Austria. These

include <b lang="de-at"><a id="id117"

<p>Two expeditions by <a href="../others/luss/index.htm">LUSS</a> in the late
|
|
|
|
|
eighties explored caves on the 1623/1626 border, with all the significant finds
|
2004-09-19 23:22:14 +01:00
|
|
|
lying in the 1626 area. These included <b lang="de"><a id="idla11"
|
|
|
|

href="la11.htm">Lungehöhle</a></b> -375m; <b lang="de"><a id="idla12"

|
2004-04-30 22:56:57 +01:00
|
|
|
href="la34.htm">Ratselhöhle</a></b> -425m. Their access route was either
|
|
|
|
|
from <span lang="de-at">Grundlsee</span> or via the Toll road - both ways
|
|
|
|
|
around five hour walks-in.</p>

|
<p>As you might expect, CUCC has visited only the most accessible cave in the
|
2004-04-30 22:56:57 +01:00
|
|
|
area, the resurgence of <b lang="de-at"><a id="id5"
|
2024-12-16 22:24:53 +00:00
|
|
|
href="/1626/5.htm">Naglsteghöhle</a></b>, which is a pleasant
|
2004-04-30 22:56:57 +01:00
|
|
|
five minute stroll from the bar at Blaa-Alm.</p>
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>There are approaching two hundred caves known at present in the area, but
|
|
|
|
|
CUCC have very few details of most of these, so, apart from those mentioned
|
2004-04-30 22:56:57 +01:00
|
|
|
above, they are not included in these web pages at present.</p>
