<h1>The Loser Augst-Eck plateau</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<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
|
|
|
|
|
beyond CUCC's normal limit is considered under
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="../remote/index.htm">"Further" plateau and out to
|
|
|
|
|
Augst-Eck.</a> North of this is also area 1626. To the east, the plateau
|
|
|
|
|
starts 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 href="../smkridge/index.htm">Schwarzmooskogel ridge</a>.

<h3>Access</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <a href="walkin.htm">route to the plateau</a> takes between 25 and
|
|
|
|
|
45 minutes, depending on weather, load and fitness - this is to reach
|
|
|
|
|
the start of the karren - it can take another hour or more to reach a
|
|
|
|
|
particular cave.

|
<h3>Description</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<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.

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>Once down onto the plateau, the reality is a little different, as
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
thickets of dwarf pine (<i>Pinus mugo</i>) also help to make progress and
|
|
|
|
|
navigation very difficult. Sharp rocks and open shafts lie everywhere,
|
|
|
|
|
awaiting the unwary.</center>

|

|
|
|
|
<p>Potential new caves are frequent, although the plateau is characterised
|
|
|
|
|
by snow- and scree-choked open shafts.
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="../handbook/look4.htm">Prospecting</a> is time-consuming, and it's
|
|
|
|
|
worth looking <i>very carefully</i> for a painted number or other signs of
|
|
|
|
|
previous exploration (eg. bolts) before entering.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>As <a href="../tcamps.htm#topcamp">Top Camp</a> is on the southern edge of
|
|
|
|
|
this area, and routes to several major finds cross it, there has been a
|
|
|
|
|
significant number of recorded finds, since the earliest years of CUCC's
|
|
|
|
|
work.
