<h1>East of Schwarzmooskogel/Augst-Eck ridge to Wildensee</h1>

Beyond the much-explored area containing Stellerwegh&ouml;hle and the
Schwarzmooskogeleish&ouml;hle, SE facing slopes dropping from the long
Schwarzmooskogel to Augst-Eck ridge continue for another 3km. The steep
cliff band of Wei&szlig;e Wand below the St&ouml;gerweg 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="aausee.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 Grie&szlig; kogel ridge,
from where it would be possible to return to the <a href="handbook/tollrd.html">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="/cave/161">Kaninchenh&ouml;hle</a>. Other caves lie
very close to the Wildensee Alm, as there appears to have been very little
exploratory effort anywhere in the area.
