<h1><span lang="de-at">Schwarzmooskogel</span> ridge</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Exploration in the last few years has shown that though a variety of
|
|
|
|
|
different approach walks are needed to visit various parts of the
|
|
|
|
|
long ridge on the SE side of area 1623, many of the significant caves
|
|
|
|
|
form part of a single, very extensive, system.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In the southern part, the <span lang="de-at">Vorderer
|
|
|
|
|
Schwarzmooskogel</span> (1843m), the area is bounded on the west by steep
|
|
|
|
|
scars into the <a href="../kratzer/index.html"><span
|
|
|
|
|
lang="de-at">Kratzer</span> valley</a> and to the south and southeast by the
|
|
|
|
|
cliffs of <span lang="de-at">Weiße Wand,</span> below which lies <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="../aaussee/index.html"><span lang="de-at">Altausseer See</span></a> and
|
|
|
|
|
the <span lang="de-at">Hoch Klapf</span> valley to its NE.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The ridge runs NNE, with a col at 1755m, before rising to the <span
|
|
|
|
|
lang="de-at">Hinterer Schwarzmooskogel</span> at 1906m. To the west of this,
|
|
|
|
|
the area slopes down to the bare karren of the <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="../plateau/index.html">plateau</a>. Steeper slopes to the east drop into
|
|
|
|
|
the <span lang="de-at">Hoch Klapf</span> valley which marks the boundary with
|
|
|
|
|
the adjacent kataster region 1624. There is no real boundary to the north or
|
|
|
|
|
northeast - just a limit to how far we have yet looked. Currently this is
|
|
|
|
|
some distance further NE beyond the summit of the <span lang="de-at">Nieder
|
|
|
|
|
Augst-Eck.</span> Beyond this, there are no known caves for some way, by which
|
|
|
|
|
time they fall into the <a href="../remote/index.html">remote plateau</a> or <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="../wilden/index.html"><span lang="de-at">Wildensee</span></a> areas, as
|
|
|
|
|
listed here.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The area is more densely covered with dwarf mountain pine than the plateau
|
|
|
|
|
or other minor areas we have looked at, with a few "real" trees dotted about
|
|
|
|
|
too. This tends to restrict <a href="../handbook/look4.htm">prospecting</a>
|
|
|
|
|
to narrow corridors of access on established routes (these can hardly be
|
|
|
|
|
described as paths).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Five approaches are in use:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><span lang="de-at"><a href="via201.htm">Stogerweg</a></span> - path 201,
|
|
|
|
|
for entrances low on the S and E side of the ridge</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The <a href="vianip.htm">"Nipple"</a> path to the entrances higher up the
|
|
|
|
|
hill, and beyond this the Eishöhle area.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Via the <span lang="de-at"><a href="viavsk.htm">Vd.
|
|
|
|
|
Schwarzmooskogel</a></span> summit for entrances near it - several variants are
|
|
|
|
|
possible here. This route has somewhat fallen out of use recently, and it has
|
|
|
|
|
become more usual to take the 161 path then hack southwards along the crest of
|
|
|
|
|
the ridge.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>An established <a href="via161.html">route</a> to <span
|
|
|
|
|
lang="de-at">Kaninchenhöhle</span> and down the east side.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>A <a href="via204.html">route</a> from Top Camp across the plateau, via the
|
|
|
|
|
large bare patch of limestone on the side of the Hinter (visible from Top Camp)
|
|
|
|
|
across to <a href="204/204.html"><span
|
|
|
|
|
lang="de-at">Steinbrückenhöhle</span></a>.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are corresponding lists of caves in the areas covered by each walkin:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="41area.html">Stellerweg area</a> (access routes 1+2)</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="40area.html">Eishöhle area</a> (access route 2)</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="via161.html">161 area</a> (access route 4) - this roughly covers
|
|
|
|
|
the area between the peaks of the Vorder and Hinterer Schwarzmooskogels.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="via204.html">Steinbrücken area</a> (access route 5) - this
|
|
|
|
|
covers more or less everything north of the peak of the Hinter, as well as the
|
|
|
|
|
recently discovered 161g and 161h entrances.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
