The Fadensattel is a pass with 1210  m on the northern roof of the Schneeberg massif , west of Puchberg am Schneeberg .

Location and landscape

The top of the pass connects the thread walls , the northern eruptions of the Schneeberg ( 2076  m ), with the Dürren Leiten  (approx.  1244  m ) in the north, which then leads to the Großenberg  ( 1188  m ) and the Dürren Wand ( Schober  1213  m , Katharinenschlag  1222  m ) .

According to Trimmel , the Leiten drought is already part of the drought wall of the Gutenstein Alps ; the saddle forms the border to the Rax-Schneeberg group .

tourism

The saddle can be reached from the valley town of Losenheim via a hiking trail on the forest road or with the four-seater chairlift, from Putzenhof in the furthest valley of the Piesting (in the ÖK50 incorrectly called Kalter Gang , municipality of Gutenstein ) also via an easy hiking trail. Coming from the Dürren Wand, the Austrian long-distance hiking trail 01 (Northern Alpine Trail), here also the Lower Austrian state circular hiking trail  (NLW), runs over the saddle to the Schneeberg ( Fadensteig ) . The northern Grafensteig leads over the northeast flank of the Schneeberg via Rieshütte and Bürklehütte to Berghaus Hochschneeberg at the rack railway. In addition, a path leads over the northwest flank, Kuhschneeberg and the Schnellerwagsteig down to the Singerin on the upper Schwarza .

The former Sparbacher Hütte (private, 1248  m ), the Edelweißhütte (OeAV, 1235  m ) and the Almreserlhaus (private, 1222  m ) are on the saddle .

The Fadensattel is the highest point of the so-called Salamander ski area . The four-seater chairlift and two ski lifts belong to the operator of the Schneeberg cog railway , the NÖSBB.

To the east of the Fadensattels is the Fadengraben , over which the Römerweg leads.
