<h1>Area 1623: Loser-AugstEck plateau</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Within the Austrian kataster, area 1620 is the Western Totes
|
|
Gebirge. Area 1623 is the Loser - Augst-Eck plateau, bounded to the SE
|
|
by path 234 from the Wildenseehutte down to Altausseer See, to the south
|
|
by the lake itself, then to the SW by the road to Blaa-Alm. The Western
|
|
edge is marked by the valley of Grüne Bichl, and the northern limit
|
|
is a rather arbitrary line across the limestone between the
|
|
Schönberg and Neid Augst-Eck, not far beyond Tunnockschacht, then
|
|
down to the Wildenseehütte. To the west and north of this line is
|
|
area 1626.</p>

<p>Access to the area is relatively easy at its southern edge, as the <a
|
|
href="tollrd.htm">Loser Panoramastraße</a> (a toll road) climbs the
|
|
southern slopes of Loser to reach a large parking area and self-service
|
|
restaurant at 1600m just below Augst See.

</ul>
|
|
From the car park - now called "Loser Alm" and formerly just known as the
|
|
Bergrestaurant- good paths reach both the
|
|
southern slopes of Vd. Schwarzmooskogel, and also north to a col overlooking
|
|
the extensive pathless central plateau. Both the further reaches of the central
|
|
plateau and the areas around the Schönberg, Gries Kogel and Augst-Eck
|
|
ridges are remote - being large pathless areas of rough karren with little or
|
|
no water supplies except for snowmelt. The Stone-Bridge bivi site between the Hinter Schwarmooskogel and Neid Augst-Eck makes it practical to expore this area.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Within this area (1623), by far the majority of caves are above
|
|
1500m in an area from around Augst See, along the major ridge line of
|
|
Schwarzmooskogel towards Augst-Eck (forming a long strip on the SE of
|
|
the area), and across the plateau west of Schwarzmooskogel.</p>

|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>There are approaching two hundred caves known at present in the area, so for
|
|
convenience, we have broken the area down into smaller areas, with a number of
|
|
related caves in each. Some of these areas are natural - separated by clear
|
|
geographic boundaries like big cliffs, or areas of non-karstic rocks. Others
|
|
are more arbitrary, and are defined more by route of access than by any real
|
|
geographical distinction. Apart from a few caves found in the first couple of
|
|
years, CUCC's work has been confined to just the first four of these smaller
|
|
areas, though the map overlaps onto most of the others.</p>
