The Anninger , a mountain on the Thermenlinie in Lower Austria , consists of a limestone plateau with four peaks, the highest being called Anninger ( 675  m above sea level ), where the brick Wilhelmswarte is also located. The Anninger is located in the Föhrenberge Nature Park in the Vienna Woods. It belongs to the municipal areas of Mödling , Gumpoldskirchen , Pfaffstätten , Gaaden and Hinterbrühl .

Surroundings

The other peaks of the Bergstock are the Eschenkogel ( 653  m ) with the Anningerhaus and the Kaiser-Jubiläumswarte (steel construction), the Vierjochkogel ( 651  m ) with the Anninger transmitter of Telekom Austria (built in 1956) and the Buchkogel ( 639  m ). On the southeast slope towards Gumpoldskirchen is located Dreidärrischenhöhle . A north-westerly branch is the archaeologically interesting Jennyberg .

To the north of the four peaks is the Kleine Anninger ( 494  m ) with the hussar temple .

South of the four peaks, the Pfaffstättner Kogel ( 541  m ) still belongs to the mountain group. The locals also refer to it as Tschapperl-Anninger . At the summit, built in 1930 and is from the Mountain Club managed Rudolf Proksch-Hütte with the 1914 built Klesheimwarte that after the poet Anton von Klesheim is named. The desert caves on the southern slope can still be visited.

history

A natural toboggan run used to lead from the Anningerschutzhaus to Mödling. It was built by the First Anninger Toboggan Club ( A. R. V. ), which was founded in 1907 by the then Austrian toboggan master Adolf Rziha (1875–1962), among others . The road, which is still used today as a forest road, was secured with wooden planks on the sides. A steep wall curve was built at the Hans-Riffer-Quelle . A piece of the Anninger toboggan (successfully) used at that time still exists. At the Krauste Linde shelter on February 14, 1909, the goal of an international toboggan race, in which the Austrian toboggan record was set over one kilometer .

In 1928 a new artificial toboggan run was opened, which led from the (now defunct) Kaisergerndlhaus into the Kiental in the direction of Hinterbrühl . However, the 1,700-meter-long run was shortened after a fatal accident in 1935 and then ended at the Krauste Linde shelter . In 1966 the Austrian Grand Prix in luge and in 1965 and 1967 the Lower Austrian state championships were held. Today the non-public access road is used as a toboggan run.

One source of income across the area was bad luck .

The Breite Föhre existed as a well-known natural monument until 1997 . Research found an age that went back to 1550. Many legends and anecdotes lead back to this tree. Famous artists are also said to have been very creative here, such as Beethoven or Schönberg . On January 14, 1997, the tree, which had died in 1988, had to be removed for safety reasons. The remains of the tree are now in the Lower Austrian State Museum in St. Pölten .

At the highest point of the Anninger, the Wilhelmswarte was built in stone in 1887 , named after Archduke Wilhelm (1827-1894). It has been preserved to this day and is a listed building. As early as 1877, the Naturfreunde Mödling had built a wooden control room.

Josef Kyselak has had a label attached by a copycat since 2010 .

Unrealized transport projects

In 1898, the Imperial and Royal Railway Ministry granted the engineer Heinrich Fröhlich from Vienna permission to carry out preliminary technical work for a small electric railway from Mödling via Richardshof to Anninger, and in 1901 the engineer Kurt Bauer in Vienna for a small electric railway from Mödling or Gumpoldskirchen.

After a warning had been given about a mountain railway at the end of 1910 , in December 1925 the Association of Friends of Nature in Mödling called a meeting in 1877 in which the privately run project of a cable car up to the Anninger was to be presented and discussed. The rejection of the project by the representatives of the Friends of Nature Association, as well as the fact that the market town of Gumpoldskirchen , from whose town hall the railway was to take its exit, refused a financial contribution, the project (for which the Federal Ministry of Trade and Verkehr at the beginning of 1926 and 1927 granted permission to carry out preliminary technical work ) subsequently brought down the fall.

Climbs

The Anninger can be reached on numerous marked routes as well as a hardly manageable number of unmarked paths. The climbs from the communities on the edge of the Vienna Basin east of the Bergstocks (Mödling, Gumpoldskirchen, Pfaffstätten) are more climbed than those from the west side (for example from Gaaden).

A selection of popular marked routes:

  • From Mödling over the Goldene Stiege to the Breiten Föhre and on past the Krauste Linde shelter , finally steeper to the Anningerhaus and the peaks. Walking time: about 2 hours
  • From the Richardhof in 50 to 60 minutes to the mountain top area
  • From Gumpoldskirchen initially steeply up the Kalvarienberg , further, for example, through the Siebenbrunnengraben past the Dreidärrischenhöhle to the summit region. Walking time: about 1¼ to 1½ hours
  • From Pfaffstätten first through vineyards, then steeper in the forest to the Pfaffstättner Kogel , walking time: around 1 hour. The hike to the Anningerhaus can be continued in another hour.

The paths can be combined with one another in a large number of variants and round tours. Together with the restaurants in numerous huts and restaurants, they make the Stock des Anningers "one of the most popular hiking destinations in the vicinity of Vienna".
