<h1>Area 1626: <span lang="de-at">Rauher - Schönberg</span></h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Within the Austrian kataster, area 1620 is the Western
|
|
<span lang="de-at">Totes Gebirge</span>. Area 1623 is the
|
|
<span lang="de-at">Loser - Augst-Eck</span> plateau (including CUCC's area)
|
|
and 1626 is the area to the north and northwest. Starting from
|
|
<span lang="de-at">Rettenbachtal</span> (the valley just beyond
|
|
<span lang="de-at">Blaa-Alm</span>, at the end of the left branch at the
|
|
start of the <span lang="de-at"><a href="../tollrd.htm">Loser
|
|
Panoramastraße</a></span>), everything to the north and west of the
|
|
valley of <span lang="de-at">Grüne Bichl</span>, is in 1626. The
|
|
boundary then follows the ridge crest of
|
|
<span lang="de-at">Schönberg</span>, then a rather ill-defined line to
|
|
the <span lang="de-at">Wildenseehütte</span>. To the east here is area
|
|
1627, and the eastern border of 1626 turns north.
|
|
|
|
<p>There are a number of very significant systems within the area, only one
|
|
of which has been visited by CUCC, as they tend to be difficult of access, or
|
|
very much reserved to the Austrian cavers. The latter applies particularly
|
|
to <b lang="de-at">
|
|
<a name="55" href="../noinfo/1626/55.htm">Raucherkarhöhle</a></b>
|
|
with its many entrances near the <b lang="de-at">Ischler Hütte</b>,
|
|
accessible by paths from <b lang="de-at">Rettenbach</b>. This is well
|
|
illustrated on the <span lang="de-at">Landesverein für Höhlenkunde
|
|
in Oberosterreich</span> site with text in
|
|
<a href="http://alpha.aec.at/cave/cave.html" lang="en">English</a> or
|
|
<a href="http://alpha.aec.at/cave/" lang="de-at">German</a>.
|
|
|
|
<p>The other major systems lie around the high <b lang="de-at">Hintergras</b>
|
|
and <b lang="de-at">Feuertal</b> valleys north of the
|
|
<b lang="de-at">Schönberg</b> ridge line, and reached only by immense
|
|
and steep climbs up from the north to the <b lang="de-at">Ebenseer
|
|
Hochkogelhütte</b>. The oldest and most extensive cave in this area is
|
|
<b lang="de-at"><a name="50" href="../noinfo/1626/50.htm">Ahnenschacht</a></b>,
|
|
visited by the <a href="../others/bec/index.htm">B.E.C.</a> in the late
|
|
sixties, and pushed by many other groups since.
|
|
|
|
<p>Both French and Belgian cavers, associated with the
|
|
<a href="../others/gsab/index.htm">GSAB</a> explored a series of deep
|
|
systems in the seventies - about the same time that CUCC first visited
|
|
Austria. These include
|
|
<b lang="de-at"><a name="117" href="../noinfo/1626/117.htm">Trunkemboldschacht</a></b>
|
|
-854m; the four entrances of
|
|
<b lang="de-at"><a name="120" href="../noinfo/1626/120.htm">Feuertalsystem</a></b>
|
|
-913m; and the smaller
|
|
<b lang="de-at"><a name="122" href="../noinfo/1626/122.htm">Ufoschacht</a></b>
|
|
or <b lang="fr-be">Gouffre Ovni</b>, -565m.
|
|
|
|
<p>Two expeditions by <a href="../others/luss/index.htm">LUSS</a> in the
|
|
late eighties explored caves on the 1623/1626 border, with all the
|
|
significant finds lying in the 1626 area. These included
|
|
<b lang="de"><a name="la11" href="la11.htm">Lungehöhle</a></b> -375m;
|
|
<b lang="de"><a name="la12" href="la12.htm">Sternloch</a></b> -331m and
|
|
<b lang="de"><a name="la34" href="la34.htm">Ratselhöhle</a></b> -425m.
|
|
Their access route was either from <span lang="de-at">Grundlsee</span> or via
|
|
the Toll road - both ways around five hour walks-in.
|
|
|
|
<p>As you might expect, CUCC has visited only the most accessible cave in the
|
|
area, the resurgence of
|
|
<b lang="de-at"><a name="5" href="../noinfo/1626/5.htm">Nagelsteghöhle</a></b>,
|
|
which is a pleasant five minute stroll from the bar at Blaa-Alm.
|
|
|
|
<p>There are approaching two hundred caves known at present in the area, but
|
|
CUCC have very few details of most of these, so, apart from those mentioned
|
|
above, they are not included in these web pages at present.
