<h1>Kratzer valley</h1>
<p>The Kratzer valley is the main valley south from Schwarzmoossattel. However,
it is not the one followed by the path down to Br&auml;uning Alm, which
traverses the east slopes of Br&auml;uning Nase to reach a small col and slopes
west of Kratzer. The narrow valley itself may be entered at the top (north) end
by dropping below the path just after it leaves the Schwarzmoossattel. The
inner reaches are then relatively inaccessible, as they are separated from the
dwarf-pine covered slopes up to Br&auml;uning Alm by a cliff band. Similarly,
cliffs on the other side isolate it from the SW slopes of Vorderer
Schwarmooskogel.</p>
<p>Consequently, few of CUCC have explored the valley since the initial trip of
1976, and most of the caves hereabouts have been entered by the local cavers
(at the north end). The locals were exploring and numbering caves around the
time when CUCC looked in the valley, and there is a suspicion that some of the
"Austrian" numbers refer to the same caves looked at by CUCC. However, the
supposed correlation between CUCC and kataster numbers mentioned in the
Austrian caving journal does not seem to be correct, from evidence gathered on
a visit in 1990, so CUCC's caves appear here with their original CUCC numbers,
pending more investigation.</p>
<p>There is a suspicion that one of the German groups may have explored some
other entrances near the bottom of the valley (marked with red paint, but not
in the kataster), but we have no documentation on these.</p>
<p>If the valley is followed down, it leads into a closed depression with a low
point at 1527m, not at all obvious from the map. A steep climb up leads to a
more level section, where a path materialises, to meet the marked path 201
(St&ouml;gerweg) as the north branch of a T-junction at c 1580m. Straight on
(initially south for a short way) is the Stellerweg area <a
href="1623/via201.htm">approach route</a>, whilst right (west) is the
route from <a href="egglgrub.html">Egglgrube</a> and the
Bergrestaurant. The first part of this path into Kratzer from the south appears
to be well-used <b>only</b> because of people missing this T-junction and going
some way before realising the error.</p>
