< p > From the < a href = "../tollrd.htm" > Loser Panoramastraß e< / a >
Bergrestaurant car park (bottom right of picture), take the path leading from
the NE corner, which is slightly shorter, and soon joins the main path.
Alternatively, follow the main touroid path, numbered 201, and marked with
red and white paint at frequent intervals (heading up left of centre in the
picture). Following this gently undulating path for ten to fifteen minutes

continue over karren which is well covered with Lä rchen (dwarf pine,
spuriously known as "Bunde" within CUCC). A T-junction is met, left leading

further on, where a cave is marked by a large red Omega in the middle of the

around "The Nipple", including all the higher entrances to the

reached by following this junction path. This starts out well-marked with
cairns and red paint spots/arrows. After a short while, it traverses below a
cliff on the left. At the far end of this, a climb up reaches a well-hidden

knoll known as The Nipple (German groups call this < span lang = "de" > Weiß e
Warze,< / span > and in older CUCC logbook accounts it is Bunter's Bulge). Beyond
this it becomes harder to follow. There is a laser point on top of the Nipple,
whilst caves < a href = "143.htm" > 143< / a > and < a href = "144.htm" > 144< / a > are on the
