The Guglzipf is 473  m above sea level. A. high mountain on the northern edge of the Gutenstein Alps in Lower Austria and the local mountain of the Berndorfer .

location

The mountain is the last branch of the Jauling towards Berndorf. Together with the Am Brand hill opposite, the Guglzipf forms a bottleneck in the Triesting Valley and closes off the Berndorfer Basin to the east to the factory site and the Berndorfer St. Veit district. The municipal boundary between Berndorf and Hernstein runs over the summit .

Surname

The name Guglzipf was proven to have been used as early as 1880, but in 1902 the mountain was also called Zaglerspitz .

flora

The Guglzipf is largely overgrown with the dense black pines (Pinus nigra) typical of the entire area , which were also used in pitching in the past .

Forest hut and lookout point

In 1902 the first wooden lookout tower was built on the mountain and several paths were laid out on the summit. In 1908 the forest hut on Guglzipf was built. After the Second World War, the tower had to be demolished. In 1982 the community bought the then dilapidated forest hut, which was subsequently renovated by the “Waldhütte Guglzipf-Berndorf” association and thus remained as a destination for excursions. In 1990/91 the 34-meter-high jubilee tower was built and opened on August 31, 1991, and finally renamed Franz-Bichler-Warte in 2006 in honor of the long-time chairman of the “Waldhütte Guglzipf-Berndorf” association . The observation tower stood until 2016 under monument protection .

The forest hut is located west of the summit directly above the city and offers a comprehensive view of this and the entire Berndorfer basin. From the observation tower, which towers high above the Föhren and can be seen clearly from the Triestingtal east of Berndorf as well as from the whole city, the view naturally extends further: In addition to the Berndorfer and Grillenberger basins with the surrounding mountains Hohe Mandling and Waxeneck are in To the east the Leithagebirge and the Hundsheimer Berge , to the south the Hohe Wand and to the west Kieneck , Hocheck and Peilstein as well as to the north the Wienerwald with the Hohen Lindkogel .

Cable car

Before the First World War, the lignite mine in Grillenberg and the Berndorfer Metallwarenfabrik were connected by a cable car over the Guglzipf, which transported coal directly from the mine to the furnace in the factory. The mining industry was shut down in 1959. The aisle over the Guglzipf can still be seen from the cable car.

Hermann Krupp Temple

The Hermann Krupp Temple

The northernmost foot of the Guglzipf is rocky and at its top bears the listed Hermann Krupp Temple , which Arthur Krupp had built in 1910 in memory of his father. It has the shape of an ionic round temple . Inside is a bust of Hermann Krupp, designed by the sculptor Willy Ruß and cast by the casting master Zehle in the Berndorfer metal goods factory .
