<h1>Br&auml;uning Alm and Br&auml;uning Kunntal</h1>

<p>Following marked path 201 (St&ouml;gerweg) 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 Br&auml;uning Alm. To the NW
of this peak is the closed depression of Br&auml;uning 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>Br&auml;uning 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
Br&auml;uning Zinken, the path traverses above a small valley to reach a
group of huts serving the summer pasture of Br&auml;uning 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
<a href="l/tc77a.htm">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 Br&auml;uning Sattel. Areas of scars between this valley and the
ridge used by the <a href="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>
