<h1>Loser plateau - the walk-in</h1>
|
||
|
||
From the <a href="../tollrd.htm">Loser Panoramastraße</a>
|
||
Bergrestaurant car park, take the path leading from the NE corner, which is
|
||
slightly shorter, and soon joins the main path (numbered 201, and marked with
|
||
red and white paint at frequent intervals).

|
||
|
||
<p>Following this gently undulating path for ten to fifteen minutes leads to
|
||
<a href="../egglgrub/index.htm">Egglgrube</a>. Ahead and to the right is a 10m
|
||
cliff rising from the pasture to an area of karren and dwarf pine. To the
|
||
left is a valley containing several obvious sinkholes, with a junction path
|
||
signposted "Bräuning Zinken" (Weg Nr. 257) leading to <a
|
||
href="../br-alm/index.htm"> Bräuning Alm.</a>

||

|
||
Bräuning Alm</center>
|
||
|
||
<p>Take this left turn, up the west side of the grassy valley to a
|
||
collection of six huts (seven from 1995) on level pasture near a number of
|
||
small springs. The route to Bräuning Zinken passes these huts to reach
|
||
the col to the left of the biggest peak - however this area is of little
|
||
speleological interest. Our path crosses to east side of the valley and
|
||
continues past a small limestone scarp on the right.
|
||
|
||
<p><center><a href="../br-alm/l/tc77b.htm"><img src="../br-alm/t/tc77b.jpg"

|

|
||
|
||
<p>Above this scarp is another flat area of pasture, the site of CUCC's <a
|
||
href="../tcamps.htm#id1977camp">advance camp</a> of 1977. The path also climbs
|
||
this scarp a little further on, turning right (not very obvious) out of the
|
||
continuing main valley. If the valley is followed up (this was our normal
|
||
route in 1976 and 1977), the same destination can eventually be reached by a
|
||
slightly rougher walk, as the path fades out in limestone pavement.

||

|
||
|
||
<p>The main path leads to short climbs up and breaks out onto a ridge between
|
||
the above-mentioned valey and the much deeper <a href="../kratzer/index.htm">
|
||
Kratzer valley,</a> access to which is difficult at this point owing to steep
|
||
limestone scars. Continuing, the path converges with the 1976 route coming in
|
||
from the left at a small col, then contours below the small peak of
|
||
Bräuning Nase to the left. Ahead is the site of CUCC<43>s <a
|
||
href="../tcamps.htm#id1979camp">bivouac of 1979</a>, and, slightly beyond, the
|
||
broad col of Schwarzmoossattel.
|
||
|
||
<p>The plateau lies directly ahead over this col, and may be reached by any
|
||
of several routes through dwarf pine, with various amounts of scrambling.
|
||
The whole area is pathless and very rough, though a few routes are marked
|
||
with sporadic cairns.
|
||
|
||
<p>Following the path round to the left (WNW) soon leads to a big cairn and
|
||
a short scramble down to <a href="../tcamps.htm#topcamp">Top Camp</a>, which
|
||
has been used by CUCC since 1988. This is adjacent to the only reliable
|
||
water supply we have found, situated below the dramatic Bräuning wall.
|
||
Please take care not to pollute the spring ! Note that this camp site is
|
||
still within the area designated as a "Naturschutzgebiet" (Nature
|
||
Reserve) and permission is required to camp there.
|
||
|
||
<p>The path continues below the Bräuning wall to the west, eventually to
|
||
reach the inaccessible pasture of <a href="../gschwand/index.htm"> Gschwandt
|
||
Alm</a> north of Loser.
