"text": "Cycled up to the bottom of the cable car and took it up (with bike) to the car park. \n<div align=center>\n<img src=\"/years/2025/bike-on-seilbahn.jpg\" width=40%>&nbsp;\n<img src=\"/years/2025/view-from-seilbahn.jpg\" width=40%>\n</div>\nIn retrospect this was a bit of a mistake as I realised that I had used up a days-worth of legs before I had even \nstarted walking. Also the amount of faff and pre-preparing GPX files for prospecting meant that I might as well \nhave taken the first 955 bus which gets to the cable car at about 0930. I re-fuelled with apfel strudl.<br />\n<div align=center>\n<img src=\"/years/2025/breakfast-at-loseralm.jpg\" width=40%><br />\n</div>\n<p>\nIt did all work out, and having the bike up there meant that I could start coming down at 17:00 instead of 16:30, and without any stress for missing the last car. Though the berg restaurant was shut of course so no last-minute apfelstrudl for me.\n<p>\nI photographed and location-checked several entrances on or near the col-SB path, and found an recorded shaft \n\"Promising Pit\" 2025-PS-02 which is about 20m deep with a small pile of snow just visible at the bottom. . But \nthe reason it is promising is that (a) it is close-ish to the path, (b) it is very close (just over the ridge \nbehind) to a large gully/open area which is filled with rocks but clearly takes a lot of water. (d) Wishful \nthinking may make it the link between Kaninchenh&ouml;hle and <a href=\"/1623/107/107.html\">G&auml;mseh&ouml;hle \n(107)</a> (107 does extend in a direction towards this shaft). \n<p>\nLessons of the day:<ul>\n<li>more sugary snacks required\n<li>don't use up legs getting to the walking area\n<li>entrance GPS locations post-2006 are pretty good\n</ul>\n<p>\nThe ride down was chilly about the knees, and somewhat uncomfortable as you don't change position for 20 minutes. It would be exhilarating were it not for the constant concern that you are about to become nothing but a red smear on the tarmac. The amount of potential energy involved is frightening.",
