Blühnbachtal

Blühnbach Castle

The Blühnbachtal is a 10 km long western side valley of the Salzach in the Austrian state of Salzburg . It separates the Hagen Mountains (in the north) from the Hochkönig massif (in the south) on the edge of the Berchtesgaden Alps .

From Tenneck , the northern district of Werfen , a road leads into the Blühnbachtal to Blühnbach Castle , which Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau had built from 1603 to 1607. From 1908 to 1914 the Blühnbachtal was a hunting area of ​​the heir to the throne Franz Ferdinand . In 1916 it was leased to the German industrial family Krupp and later sold.

At the beginning of the valley is the Tenneck branch church , built in 1953/54 , shortly thereafter a small hydropower plant of the Federal Forests.

In the western part of the valley, shortly before its end, is the Eckberthütte of the Austrian Alpine Club . In this area, the high-voltage line through the Hagengebirge is also optically dominant.
