<center><h1>Kratzer valley</h1></center>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Kratzer valley is the main valley south from Schwarzmoossattel. However,
|
|
|
|
|
it is not the one followed by the path down to Bräuning Alm, which
|
|
|
|
|
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>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>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
|
|
|
|
|
in the kataster), but we have no documentation on these.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<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
|
|
|
|
|
href="../smkridge/via201.htm">approach route</a>, whilst right (west) is the
|
|
|
|
|
route from <a href="../egglgrub/index.htm">Egglgrube</a> and the
|
|
|
|
|
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.
