<h1>Gschwandt - NW of the Loser-Bräuning wall</h1>
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|

|
2004-04-30 22:56:57 +01:00
|
|
|
<p>This is a comparatively out-of-the-way area with few known caves. It lies NW
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
of the Loser to Bräuning Zinken ridge, below the cliffs of these peaks
|
|
|
|
|
and above another steep drop, the Stöckl Wand, which falls to the head
|
|
|
|
|
of the Rettenbach - the stream which takes the Naglsteg water and flows WNW
|
2004-04-30 22:56:57 +01:00
|
|
|
to Bad Ischl.</p>
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Three approaches are possible, though one is much longer than the others,
|
|
|
|
|
unless you are based at CUCC's <a href="../tcamps.htm#topcamp">Top Camp</a>,
|
2004-04-30 22:56:57 +01:00
|
|
|
in which case it is by far the shortest!</p>
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>From the <a href="../tollrd.htm">toll road</a>, starting at the Loser
|
|
|
|
|
Hütte, a path heads west, parallel to and just above the road. It is
|
|
|
|
|
joined by a track which leaves the road at Kehre 11, just above the ski area
|
|
|
|
|
parking and bus stop. Immediately beyond the junction is the small
|
|
|
|
|
resurgence of <a href="../noinfo/gschwand/6.htm">1623-6</a>, worth knowing
|
2004-04-30 22:56:57 +01:00
|
|
|
about if you boil your radiator going up the toll road! The track continues
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
west, dropping slightly to reach the top of a big ski lift coming up from the
|
|
|
|
|
valley at Ramsau. A path now continues, following the contours round NW, then
|
|
|
|
|
N, and finally turns east below the wall of Loser. This leads above the top
|
|
|
|
|
of Stöckl Wand, and below the slopes and screes falling from Greimuth,
|
|
|
|
|
to reach a large group of huts situated just above a permanent spring. This
|
2004-04-30 22:56:57 +01:00
|
|
|
is Gschwandt Alm.</p>
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>From the Bergrestaurant, follow path 201, and take any of three left
|
|
|
|
|
turns, the first two leading over Sommersitz or Lackerbichl, but all
|
|
|
|
|
eventually reaching Bräuning Alm. From here, the <i>voie normale</i> of
|
|
|
|
|
Bräuning Zinken leads west as a clear path just above and NE of
|
|
|
|
|
Gschwandt Sattel. From this point, a much less used route zig-zags down steep
|
2004-04-30 22:56:57 +01:00
|
|
|
slopes directly to Gschwandt Alm.</p>
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The third route starts by approaching CUCC's Top Camp (Camp 3) just to the
|
|
|
|
|
NW of Schwarzmoossattel, or, for the very intrepid, by crossing the steeper
|
|
|
|
|
Bräuning Sattel, leading down directly to the camp. A cairned route
|
|
|
|
|
over karren and through dwarf pine leads roughly west until a better defined
|
|
|
|
|
path materialises and turns more southwest and descends gently to Gschwandt
|
2004-04-30 22:56:57 +01:00
|
|
|
Alm.</p>
