history

The location was originally run as Lueger Mühle , it belonged to the brewery Lueg north.

The fortification was built in 1809 when the Napoleonic army and its Bavarian allies threatened to invade . Except for the mountain slopes of the Zwölferhorn, entrenchments and earthworks, mainly baskets filled with stones, were thrown up. In the end, there was no fighting here.

The Ischler Railway (Salzkammergut Local Railway, SKLB) used to pass here. The site was completely changed by building roads and railways. The villa on the rock head, which still exists today and is privately owned, was built shortly after 1900 by the former director of the Burgtheater , Max Burckhard .

Infrastructure

There is a popular diving spot here, the Litzlwand continues under water, and the deepest part of Lake Wolfgang at 114 m lies between here and the Falkensteinerwand.
