The Gölsen flows through the Gölsental valley of the same name and is a right tributary of the Traisen in the Lilienfeld district in the Mostviertel of Lower Austria .
Surname
How the Gölsen was called in the times of the Celts and Romans is not known. The name Gölsen comes from the Middle Ages and is derived from the Slovenian Golcana , which means (the) chuckle and is a sure reference to a temporary Slavic settlement of the Gölsental .
geography
The Gölsen arises in Hainfeld from the confluence of the Fliedersbach, coming from the Vienna Woods , and the Ramsau creek (also known as Inner Gölsen ). It flows about 15 km westwards and joins the Traisen at the Traisen market . The river overcomes a height difference of 90 meters.
The valley floor of the Gölsen is 400 to 500 m wide in relation to the width of the river, there is a clear break line between the almost vertical slopes and the horizontal valley floor. On the inner arches of the meander there are flat embankments that merge into wide gravel banks. The profile is cut into the valley floor up to a few meters in some areas and the difference in level between the river bed and the surrounding area is large.
On its way, the Gölsen flows through the villages of Hainfeld, Rohrbach an der Gölsen , Rainfeld, Sankt Veit an der Gölsen and Wiesenfeld.
Tributaries
The Gölsen has the following tributaries ( in the order in which they flow into the Gölsen ):
The first tributary of the Gölsen is the Durlasbach, which rises in the Vienna Woods and flows into the Gölsen from the north at Rohrbach . Further downstream follows the larger Halbach , which rises in the Kalten Kuchl area in the limestone ceilings and flows past Kleinzell to Rainfeld , where it flows into the Gölsen. In the area of St. Veit follow the Kerschenbach, which rises in the flysch zone, and the two brooks, Wobach and Pfennigbach, which arise from the limestone Alps. The last notable tributaries of the Gölsen are the rivers Wiesenbach and Schwarzenbach, which flow into Wiesenfeld. The Schwarzenbach rises in the flysch zone. The Wiesenbach rises in the limestone covers east of Freiland and leads to a quarter of the Gölsenwasser. The valley floor, which is up to a few 100 meters wide in this area, leads to impact banks structured with dead wood and gravel banks on the sliding bank. The gradient is 4 ‰, the discharge 3.21 m³ / s.
General
Due to its recurring floods, the river is heavily built up (Gölsendamm, bottom steps), there is no riparian forest accompanying the river. However, the river can form gravel banks within the broad river bed.
The so-called Gölsental Cycle Path was laid out parallel to the river, which leads continuously asphalted from the Traisental Cycle Path to Hainfeld and then on over the Richtberg into the Triestingtal to the Triestingtal Cycle Path.
