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
2015-04-07 05:01:27 +01:00
leads to <a href="../egglgrub.html">Egglgrube</a>. To the left is a
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
valley containing several obvious sinkholes, with a junction path leading to
2015-04-07 05:01:27 +01:00
<a href="../br-alm.html">Br&auml;uning Alm.</a> Ahead and to the right
is a 10m cliff rising from the pasture to an area of karren and dwarf pine.</p>
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
<p>Follow the main path 201 straight ahead up a break in the small cliff and
continue over karren which is well covered with L&auml;rchen (dwarf pine,
spuriously known as "Bunde" within CUCC). A T-junction is met, left leading
2015-04-07 05:01:27 +01:00
into the <a href="../kratzer.html">Kratzer valley</a> (an area explored
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
by group believed to be German), while right is the main path. <b>This
junction is easy to miss on the return in mist or at night</b>. A few minutes
further on, where a cave is marked by a large red Omega in the middle of the
path (1623/28), there is a junction path to the left, and

<p>The lower entrances to the
<a href="41.htm">Stellerwegh&ouml;hlensystem</a> are reached by
following the main path, described <a href="via201.htm">elsewhere</a>. Caves
around "The Nipple", including all the higher entrances to the
Stellerwegh&ouml;hlensystem, and a number of caves not explored by CUCC, are
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
2021-04-10 19:05:24 +01:00
route to <a href="../1623/78.htm">Schwabenschacht</a> (1623/78).</p>

<p>The main way leads uphill for about 30 minutes to the back of a limestone
knoll known as The Nipple (German groups call this <span lang="de">Wei&szlig;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
SE side. This point is between an hour and an hour and a half from the car
park, depending on load / fitness / familiarity.</p>
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
<p>Beyond the area of the Nipple, the path continues into the <a
href="40area.html">Eish&ouml;hle area</a>.</p>
