|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The area CUCC calls <b>The Plateau</b> is situated north of the
|
|
|
|
|
Bräuning wall. To the west it drops off into Grüne Bichl, a large
|
|
|
|
|
valley (relatively unvisited) which marks one boundary with the adjacent <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="../1626/index.htm">1626</a> kataster area. To the north it continues
|
|
|
|
|
further than most are prepared to walk over the rough limestone. Work done

href="../remote/index.htm">"Further" plateau and out to
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
to rise towards the long Schwarzmooskogel ridge, and we take the break of slope
|
|
|
|
|
as a rather arbitrary boundary with the western slopes of the next area, the <a

<h3>Access</h3>

|
|
|

|
|
|
<p>The <a href="walkin.htm">route to the plateau</a> takes between 25 and
|
2004-05-11 08:17:03 +01:00
|
|
|
45 minutes, depending on weather, load and fitness. This is to reach the start
|
|
|
|
|
of the karren at the <span lang="de-at">Schwarzmoosattel</span>; it can take
|
|
|
|
|
another hour or more to reach a particular cave.</p>

<h3>Description</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-05-11 08:17:03 +01:00
|
|
|
<p>From the Schwarzmoossattel at 1684m, the plateau stretches out to the north,
|
|
|
|
|
looking relatively level. On the map it appears gently undulating, rising from
|
|
|
|
|
steeper slopes above Grüne Bichl to the west, levelling off about 1600m,
|
|
|
|
|
and reaching 1700m in the east where slopes rise to the Schwarzmooskogel ridge.
|
|
|
|
|
Far to the north, the bare limestone peaks of Schönberg, Große and
|
|
|
|
|
Kleine Wild Kogel and Grieß Kogel rise to over 2000m.</p>

|
|
|
<p>Once down onto the plateau, the reality is a little different, as
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
small-scale relief is made up of pavements and cliffs of up to 10m. One bit
|
|
|
|
|
looks very much like another and an intermittent covering of impenetrable
|
2004-05-11 08:17:03 +01:00
|
|
|
thickets of dwarf pine (known as <i>Pinus mugo</i> to botanists, Lärchen
|
|
|
|
|
to the Austrians, and, for historical reasons, 'Bunde' within CUCC) also help
|
|
|
|
|
to make progress and navigation very difficult. Sharp rocks and open shafts
|
|
|
|
|
lie everywhere, awaiting the unwary.</p>

<p>Potential new caves are frequent, although the plateau is characterised by

|
|
|
|
snow- and scree-choked open shafts. <a

this area, and routes to several major finds cross it, there has been a
