<p>From the <a href="../tollrd.htm">Loser Panoramastra&szlig;e</a>
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
leads to <a href="../egglgrub/index.html">Egglgrube</a>. To the left is a
valley containing several obvious sinkholes, with a junction path leading to
<a href="../br-alm/index.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>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
into the <a href="../kratzer/index.html">Kratzer valley</a> (an area explored
by the German group), while right is the main path. This junction is easy to
miss on the return in mist or at night. A few minutes further on, where a
cave is marked by a large red Omega in the middle of the path
(<a href="../noinfo/smkridge/28.htm">1623/28</a>), there is a junction path
to the left (route to <a href="vianip.htm">the Nipple</a>), and
<a href="../handbook/survey/lasers.htm">Laser-fixed point 7/8</a> marked with
a bolt.

<p>The main 201 path beyond 1623/28 leads after several minutes to a strongly
draughting entrance on the left numbered
<a href="../noinfo/smkridge/32.htm">32</a>. To the left after this
are routes to <a href="41.htm">41</a>, <a href="141.htm">141</a> and
<a href="142.htm">142</a> and the original approaches to 143 and 144. The
main path descends steeply for a while; <a href="115.htm">115</a> lies
downhill to the right. Ahead, <a href="87.htm">87</a> lies up a valley
to the left, and considerably further, paint marks lead left to
<a href="109.htm">109</a> and <a href="113.htm">113</a>
(Sonnenstrahlh&ouml;hle). 151-155 are also up left hereabouts.
<p>If the main path is followed considerably further, it joins the path
from <a href="../aaussee/index.html">Altausseer See</a> through
Hochklapfsattel into a 174m deep doline, around a kilometre long, and
eventually to Appel Haus and the <a href="../wilden/index.html">Wildensee</a>.
Just near this junction it is possible to gain access to the Scarface
(<a href="../smkridge/161/sftotp.htm">1623/161d</a>) entrance to
<a href="../smkridge/161/top.htm">Kaninchenh&ouml;hle</a>, but the route is
non-obvious and much obstructed by the dwarf pine - CUCC found this approach
to be too hard and instead used an approach as for
<a href="via161.html">161a</a>. Much futher on, high up to the left, on
Ro&szlig;kogel, is the area explored by LUSS (mainly in Kataster area
<a href="../1626/index.html">1626</a>).
