<h1>Area 1623: Loser-AugstEck plateau</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Within the Austrian kataster, area 1620 is the Western Totes Gebirge. Area
|
|
|
|
|
1623 is the Loser - Augst-Eck plateau, bounded to the SE by path 234 from the
|
|
|
|
|
Wildenseehutte down to Altausseer See, to the south by the lake itself, then
|
|
|
|
|
to the SW by the road to Blaa-Alm. The Western edge is marked by the valley
|
|
|
|
|
of Grüne Bichl, and the northern limit is the ridge crest of
|
|
|
|
|
Schönberg, then a rather ill-defined line back to the
|
|
|
|
|
Wildenseehütte. Within this area, by far the majority of caves are above
|
|
|
|
|
1500m in an area from around Augst See, along the major ridge line of
|
|
|
|
|
Schwarzmooskogel towards Augst-Eck (forming a long strip on the SE of the
|
|
|
|
|
area), and across the plateau west of Schwarzmooskogel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Access to the area is relatively easy at its southern edge, as the <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="tollrd.htm">Loser Panoramastraße</a> (a toll road) climbs the
|
|
|
|
|
southern slopes of Loser to reach a large parking area and self-service
|
|
|
|
|
restaurant at 1600m just below Augst See. From here, good paths reach both
|
|
|
|
|
the southern slopes of Vd. Schwarzmooskogel, and also north to a col
|
|
|
|
|
overlooking the extensive pathless central plateau. Both the further reaches
|
|
|
|
|
of the central plateau and the areas around the Schönberg, Gries Kogel
|
|
|
|
|
and Augst-Eck ridges are remote - being large pathless areas of rough karren
|
|
|
|
|
with little or no water supplies except for snowmelt.

|
|
|
<p>There are approaching two hundred caves known at present in the area, so
|
|
|
|
|
for convenience, we have broken the area down into smaller areas, with a
|
|
|
|
|
number of related caves in each. Some of these areas are natural - separated
|
|
|
|
|
by clear geographic boundaries like big cliffs, or areas of non-karstic
|
|
|
|
|
rocks. Others are more arbitrary, and are defined more by route of access
|
|
|
|
|
than by any real geographical distinction. Apart from a few caves found in
|
|
|
|
|
the first couple of years, CUCC's work has been confined to just the first
|
|
|
|
|
four of these smaller areas, though the map overlaps onto most of the others.
