<h1>Eishöhle area</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Starting from the Nipple (see <a href= "vianip.htm">walk-in
|
||||
description</a>), a less obvious marked path continues.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A very large cave entrance, 20 minutes further on, is an old bivouac used by
|
||||
the Munich cavers, and a few minutes later, a strongly draughting (out in
|
||||
summer) tube about 5m in diameter is the main entrance to the <a
|
||||
href="../noinfo/1623/40.htm">Eishöhle</a>. This was also the site of
|
||||
an old French bivouac, but must have been very cold. Continuing past a large
|
||||
snow-choked entrance and a couple of small holes, all in a cliff to the left,
|
||||
the path ends abruptly and unambiguously at the "new" entrance, also strongly
|
||||
draughting. This is between one and a half and two hours from the car park.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In this area and along the path beyond are a number of entrances, mainly
|
||||
discovered by CUCC and ARGE in their efforts to connect Eishöhle to
|
||||
Kaninchenhöhle.</p>

<h1>Southern Schwarzmooskogel ridge: Stellerweg area</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This area was explored by CUCC in the early 1980's, and also by a large
|
||||
number of other groups at various periods. There are two main means of
|
||||
approach:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>The <a href="via201.htm">201</a> (Stoger Weg) path (which continues along
|
||||
the hillside into the adjacent <a href="40area.html">Eishöhle
|
||||
area</a>)</li>
|
||||
<li>The <a href="vianip.htm">"Nipple"</a> (Weiße Warze) path leading to
|
||||
the higher entrances to the system.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As well as the caves constituting the master 40-41-78-115-116-142-144-161
|
||||
system, there are a number of smaller caves which have not (so far) been connected in.</p>

<h1>Bräuning Alm and Bräuning Kunntal</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Following marked path 201 (Stögerweg) from the Bergrestaurant
|
||||
northwest, a signposted junction is met, below a ski-lift. Left here leads
|
||||
over the minor peak of Lackerbichl and on to Bräuning Alm. To the NW
|
||||
of this peak is the closed depression of Bräuning Kunntal, a doline
|
||||
deep enough to merit a ski-lift climbing out of it. Two small springs,
|
||||
below the rim to ENE and ESE, feed into a bog with no speleological
|
||||
potential.</p>

|
||||
|
||||
<p>Bräuning Alm is more conveniently approached by continuing on the
|
||||
main path to a further signposted junction at <a href="egglgrub.html">
|
||||
Egglgrube</a>. Ahead, the path climbs a small scar, but left, posted to
|
||||
Bräuning Zinken, the path traverses above a small valley to reach a
|
||||
group of huts serving the summer pasture of Bräuning Alm. Springs below
|
||||
the huts feed into sinks in the valley bottom, but these offer no
|
||||
significant cave.</p>

|

|

<p>To the east of the pasture is an area of limestone scars, with another
|
||||
grassy area, used by CUCC for a brief top camp (<a
|
||||
href="tcamps.htm#id1977camp">camp 1</a>) in 1977. There are a few entrances
|
||||
in the limestone here, and more in the valley north of the huts, leading toward
|
||||
the col of Bräuning Sattel. Areas of scars between this valley and the
|
||||
ridge used by the <a href="1623/walkin.htm">path to the plateau</a> have
|
||||
not been looked at in any detail by CUCC, but are thought to have been
|
||||
prospected by the Austrians with no results.</p>

<h1>Egglgrube and Scharlingkar area</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This area lies east of the Bergrestaurant, SE of the main Loser to
|
||||
Bräuning Zinken ridge. Best seen from the summit of Sommersitz,
|
||||
the area is bounded to the SE by the first of a line of cliffs dropping
|
||||
towards Altausseer See and the valley to its NE. This cliff is Scharlingkar,
|
||||
and the pasture above it is Egglgrubenalm.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Following marked path 201 (Stögerweg) from the Bergrestaurant
|
||||
northwest, the start of the area lies below and to the right. Above and to
|
||||
the left initially is the <a href="loser.html">Augst See area</a>.
|
||||
After passing below the small peak of Sommersitz, a signposted junction is
|
||||
met, below a ski-lift. Left here leads over the minor peak of Lackerbichl and
|
||||
on to <a href="br-alm.html">Bräuning Alm</a>. Continuing on the
|
||||
main path leads to a further signposted junction at <b>Egglgrube</b>, marked
|
||||
on the map. Left again leads to Bräuning Alm, ahead, the path climbs a
|
||||
small scar, leading to the eastern side of <a
|
||||
href="smkridge.html">Schwarzmooskogel ridge</a> in the
|
||||
Stellerweghöhle area. A little used and barely discernible path leads
|
||||
right, and back SW below the initial approach, past a hut at the bottom of a
|
||||
ski lift to a group of older huts.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>An alternative approach starts from just above the (right hand) hairpin of
|
||||
the toll road, dropping down towards the top of Scharlingkar, and then
|
||||
contouring to reach the huts. This is the original path from the Loser
|
||||
Hütte, predating the building of the toll road, which explains its
|
||||
somewhat illogical-seeming point of departure.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Most of the caves listed in this area are very near Egglgrube itself,
|
||||
which seems to have been investigated in the early years of exploration in
|
||||
the area. The area also includes odd caves near or below the path from the
|
||||
Bergrestaurant.</p>

<h1>Gschwandt - NW of the Loser-Bräuning wall</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This is a comparatively out-of-the-way area with few known caves. It lies NW
|
||||
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
|
||||
to Bad Ischl.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<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>,
|
||||
in which case it is by far the shortest!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<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/1623/6.htm">1623-6</a>, worth knowing
|
||||
about if you boil your radiator going up the toll road! The track continues
|
||||
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
|
||||
is Gschwandt Alm.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<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
|
||||
slopes directly to Gschwandt Alm.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<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
|
||||
Alm.</p>

1623: Kratzer area

</title>

|
||||
<h1>Kratzer valley</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Kratzer valley is the main valley south from Schwarzmoossattel. However,
|
||||
it is not the one followed by the path down to Bräuning Alm, which
|
||||
traverses the east slopes of Bräuning Nase to reach a small col and slopes
|
||||
west of Kratzer. The narrow valley itself may be entered at the top (north) end
|
||||
by dropping below the path just after it leaves the Schwarzmoossattel. The
|
||||
inner reaches are then relatively inaccessible, as they are separated from the
|
||||
dwarf-pine covered slopes up to Bräuning Alm by a cliff band. Similarly,
|
||||
cliffs on the other side isolate it from the SW slopes of Vorderer
|
||||
Schwarmooskogel.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Consequently, few of CUCC have explored the valley since the initial trip of
|
||||
1976, and most of the caves hereabouts have been entered by the local cavers
|
||||
(at the north end). The locals were exploring and numbering caves around the
|
||||
time when CUCC looked in the valley, and there is a suspicion that some of the
|
||||
"Austrian" numbers refer to the same caves looked at by CUCC. However, the
|
||||
supposed correlation between CUCC and kataster numbers mentioned in the
|
||||
Austrian caving journal does not seem to be correct, from evidence gathered on
|
||||
a visit in 1990, so CUCC's caves appear here with their original CUCC numbers,
|
||||
pending more investigation.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There is a suspicion that one of the German groups may have explored some
|
||||
other entrances near the bottom of the valley (marked with red paint, but not
|
||||
in the kataster), but we have no documentation on these.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If the valley is followed down, it leads into a closed depression with a low
|
||||
point at 1527m, not at all obvious from the map. A steep climb up leads to a
|
||||
more level section, where a path materialises, to meet the marked path 201
|
||||
(Stögerweg) as the north branch of a T-junction at c 1580m. Straight on
|
||||
(initially south for a short way) is the Stellerweg area <a
|
||||
href="1623/via201.htm">approach route</a>, whilst right (west) is the
|
||||
route from <a href="egglgrub.html">Egglgrube</a> and the
|
||||
Bergrestaurant. The first part of this path into Kratzer from the south appears
|
||||
to be well-used <b>only</b> because of people missing this T-junction and going
|
||||
some way before realising the error.</p>

<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.html">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.html">"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.html">Schwarzmooskogel ridge</a>.</p>

|
||||
|
||||
<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 at the <span lang="de-at">Schwarzmoosattel</span>; it can take
|
||||
another hour or more to reach a particular cave.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<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.</p>

|

|

<p>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 (known as <i>Pinus mugo</i> to botanists, Lärchen
|
||||
to the Austrians, and, for historical reasons, 'Bunde' within CUCC) also help
|
||||
to make progress and navigation very difficult. Sharp rocks and open shafts
|
||||
lie everywhere, awaiting the unwary.</p>

<h1>Far plateau to <span lang="de-at">Grieß Kogel</span> and
|
||||
<span lang="de-at">Augst-Eck</span></h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Beyond the comparatively accessible area of plateau just over the
|
||||
<span lang="de-at">Schwarzmoossattel,</span> explored by CUCC, lies a vast
|
||||
area of limestone karren and dwarf spruce. Exploration is deterred by the
|
||||
lack of paths, almost complete absence of water supplies and possible places
|
||||
to camp and just general inaccessibility - there is still plenty of cave to
|
||||
find nearer to Top Camp.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>CUCC have gone beyond their normal stomping ground on just one walk,
|
||||
approaching from the <span lang="de-at">Schwarzmoossattel</span> and finding
|
||||
the caves numbered 108 and 110. An area right at the far edge of the 1623
|
||||
area, described as "SE face of <span lang="de-at">Kleines Augst-Eck",</span>
|
||||
may prove to mean the SE face of <span lang="de-at">Nieder Augst-Eck,</span>
|
||||
which should be included in the
|
||||
<a href="wilden.html"><span lang="de-at">Schwarzmooskogel</span> to
|
||||
<span lang="de-at">Wildensee</span></a> area, but this is sufficently
|
||||
uncertain that we treat it here.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Lancaster University Speleological Society held two expeditions (in 1987
|
||||
and 1988) into an area on the very northern edge of 1623, and most caves they
|
||||
found were in the adjoining 1626 area. The approach to this area around
|
||||
<span lang="de-at">Roßkogel</span> was from the
|
||||
<span lang="de-at">Wildenseehütte,</span> after a long approach on foot
|
||||
from <span lang="de-at">Grundlsee.</span> LUSS produced good printed reports
|
||||
for each of their trips, and details are included of those finds which appear
|
||||
to be south of the rather ill-defined 1623/1626 "border".</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The University of Bristol Speleological Society also held two small
|
||||
expeditions (in 1989 and 1990) into an area near the LUSS one. Unlike LUSS,
|
||||
they did not contact any member of CUCC (or, as far as we are aware, any of
|
||||
the Austrian cavers) for information, nor have we been able to obtain many
|
||||
details of their finds. However, Dan Harries sent a copy of their report on
|
||||
BS17, whose description is included here.</p>

<h1><span lang="de-at">Schwarzmooskogel</span> ridge</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Exploration in the last few years has shown that though a variety of
|
||||
different approach walks are needed to visit various parts of the
|
||||
long ridge on the SE side of area 1623, many of the significant caves
|
||||
form part of a single, very extensive, system.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In the southern part, the <span lang="de-at">Vorderer
|
||||
Schwarzmooskogel</span> (1843m), the area is bounded on the west by steep
|
||||
scars into the <a href="kratzer.html"><span
|
||||
lang="de-at">Kratzer</span> valley</a> and to the south and southeast by the
|
||||
cliffs of <span lang="de-at">Weiße Wand,</span> below which lies <a
|
||||
href="aaussee.html"><span lang="de-at">Altausseer See</span></a> and
|
||||
the <span lang="de-at">Hoch Klapf</span> valley to its NE.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The ridge runs NNE, with a col at 1755m, before rising to the <span
|
||||
lang="de-at">Hinterer Schwarzmooskogel</span> at 1906m. To the west of this,
|
||||
the area slopes down to the bare karren of the <a
|
||||
href="plateau.html">plateau</a>. Steeper slopes to the east drop into
|
||||
the <span lang="de-at">Hoch Klapf</span> valley which marks the boundary with
|
||||
the adjacent kataster region 1624. There is no real boundary to the north or
|
||||
northeast - just a limit to how far we have yet looked. Currently this is
|
||||
some distance further NE beyond the summit of the <span lang="de-at">Nieder
|
||||
Augst-Eck.</span> Beyond this, there are no known caves for some way, by which
|
||||
time they fall into the <a href="remote.html">remote plateau</a> or <a
|
||||
href="wilden.html"><span lang="de-at">Wildensee</span></a> areas, as
|
||||
listed here.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The area is more densely covered with dwarf mountain pine than the plateau
|
||||
or other minor areas we have looked at, with a few "real" trees dotted about
|
||||
too. This tends to restrict <a href="handbook/look4.htm">prospecting</a>
|
||||
to narrow corridors of access on established routes (these can hardly be
|
||||
described as paths).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Five approaches are in use:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><span lang="de-at"><a href="1623/via201.htm">Stogerweg</a></span> - path 201,
|
||||
for entrances low on the S and E side of the ridge</li>
|
||||
<li>The <a href="1623/vianip.htm">"Nipple"</a> path to the entrances higher up the
|
||||
hill, and beyond this the Eishöhle area.</li>
|
||||
<li>Via the <span lang="de-at"><a href="1623/viavsk.htm">Vd.
|
||||
Schwarzmooskogel</a></span> summit for entrances near it - several variants are
|
||||
possible here. This route has somewhat fallen out of use recently, and it has
|
||||
become more usual to take the 161 path then hack southwards along the crest of
|
||||
the ridge.</li>
|
||||
<li>An established <a href="1623/via161.html">route</a> to <span
|
||||
lang="de-at">Kaninchenhöhle</span> and down the east side.</li>
|
||||
<li>A <a href="1623/via204.html">route</a> from Top Camp across the plateau, via the
|
||||
large bare patch of limestone on the side of the Hinter (visible from Top Camp)
|
||||
across to <a href="1623/204/204.html"><span
|
||||
lang="de-at">Steinbrückenhöhle</span></a>.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
There are corresponding lists of caves in the areas covered by each walkin:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><a href="1623/41area.html">Stellerweg area</a> (access routes 1+2)</li>
|
||||
<li><a href="1623/40area.html">Eishöhle area</a> (access route 2)</li>
|
||||
<li><a href="1623/via161.html">161 area</a> (access route 4) - this roughly covers
|
||||
the area between the peaks of the Vorder and Hinterer Schwarzmooskogels.</li>
|
||||
<li><a href="1623/via204.html">Steinbrücken area</a> (access route 5) - this
|
||||
covers more or less everything north of the peak of the Hinter, as well as the
|
||||
recently discovered 161g and 161h entrances.</li>

<h1>Western slopes of Schwarzmooskogel to the col and down</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
This is normally approached from the west by crossing the edge of the plateau
|
||||
to the NE of Schwarzmoos Sattel. CUCC's "path" is to the col between Vorderer
|
||||
and Hinterer Schwarzmooskogel, where there is a permanent survey station
|
||||
"vd1". Up the ridge to the left leads to the original
|
||||
<a href="161/top.htm">161a</a> entrance, whilst just ahead down a gully lie
|
||||
161b and <a href="161/france.htm#id161c">161c</a>.

|

<p>Further down the gully, dropping about 100m following a series of cairns,
|

is the route to the 161 "back" entrances. Where the gully starts to choke
|

with pine, an exit left is possible (still with cairns), which leads to an
|

engineered traverse through an area of pine, then a series of scrambles and
|
||||
traverses (unpleasant in the wet) down to an area of recent stone fall in
|
||||
which lies the <a href="161/sftotp.htm#mothshag">161d</a> "Scarface"

<h1>Northern slopes of Hinterer Schwarzmooskogel and Nieder Augst-Eck</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There is a well-established path to the bivouac site at the eponymous stone
|
||||
bridge, which is the usual base for CUCC's operations on the Schwarzmooskogel
|
||||
ridge north of the 161 area. This is marked with a scattering of cairns, which
|
||||
are augmented at the beginning of each expedition with reflective markers
|
||||
(collected in again at the end of the expo).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Follow the usual path from the Bergrestaurant car park to the
|
||||
Schwarzmoossattel. Rather than contouring around the base of the Nase as for old
|
||||
Top Camp, strike out to the right across the patch of boggy grass. From here,
|
||||
various variants of the path lead past the entrance to Bräuninghöhle
|
||||
(1623/82) and continue northwards to Laser Point 5.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Shortly after this is the beginning of a patch of bare limestone slabs,
|
||||
clearly visible from Top Camp, which marks the highest point of the route. The
|
||||
unmistakable arched entrance of Hauchhöhle marks the end of this section,
|
||||
and from here a slightly confusing broken area dotted with patches of dwarf pine
|
||||
brings one out at the entrance to Steinbrückenhöhle.</p>

<h1>East of Schwarzmooskogel/Augst-Eck ridge to Wildensee</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
Beyond the much-explored area containing Stellerweghöhle and the
|
||||
Schwarzmooskogeleishöhle, SE facing slopes dropping from the long
|
||||
Schwarzmooskogel to Augst-Eck ridge continue for another 3km. The steep
|
||||
cliff band of Weiße Wand below the Stögerweg path is replaced by
|
||||
more broken cliffs above the path as it drops down from the southern slopes
|
||||
of Vorderer Schwarzmooskogel to the pass of Hochklapfsattel at the head of
|
||||
the cirque behind the <a href="aaussee.html">Altausseer See</a>.<p>
|
||||
|
||||
This path passes through an impressive 170m deep doline on its way to
|
||||
Wildensee, following roughly the line of the major fault which separates the
|
||||
limestone block of our area 1623 from the adjacent 1624 area to the SE. The
|
||||
Wildensee hutte and Youth Hostel are in a relatively level area of mainly
|
||||
bare karren, separated from the bare rounded ridge of Augst-Eck by steeper
|
||||
wooded slopes. Although there is no path here, the map shows a ski route
|
||||
ascending from the huts to the Augst-Eck and Grieß kogel ridge,
|
||||
from where it would be possible to return to the <a href="tollrd.htm">Toll
|
||||
road</a> across the <a href="plateau.html">plateau</a>.<p>
|
||||
|
||||
Almost all the known caves of the area lie east of the Vorderer
|
||||
Schwarzmooskogel, at the top break of slope of the broken craggy zone.
|
||||
Explored in the 1950s, they are possibly most easily approached from the col
|
||||
by <a href="1623/161/top.htm">Kaninchenhöhle</a>. Other caves lie
|
||||
very close to the Wildensee Alm, as there appears to have been very little
|
||||
exploratory effort anywhere in the area.
