Geology, history and landmarks

Linden chapel near Harpoint

Harpoint is located on the foothills of a Riss-temporal (around 200,000 year old) marginal moraines of the Dachstein glacier . This runs down from the Lackenberg near Vormoos and is part of the Haslau side branch of the DAchsteingletscher, the moraine continues at Haslau-Berg . The gravel sand of this time still stretches over the pass to the Haltgraben (Gollaubach) and up to Heissing, while to the north around the mill in the grave and to the east there is flysch . The back of the Lindenkapelle, on the other hand, is a younger Würm rim moraine (100,000–10,000 years ago) that is well preserved as a train from Lacken to the Riedel in front of the Hauslau. A small moraine line directly below between the Entersgraben estuary and Vöckla is also dated to the Würm period and shows a small intermediate maximum. Another branch of the glacier, from the Hochmoos east of the Lackenberg, the current headwaters of the Vöckla, ended above the Vormoos mill. The headwaters of the Urvöckla may have been located here as a glacial stream for a while.

The place name stands for the frequent Old High German biunta, beunde 'fenced corridor, garden, property', the first syllable probably for 'hair', meaning flax (flax) , which was probably cleared for cultivation and drying here. Such names are mostly from the late Middle Ages.

The Lindenkapelle (Lindenbauer Chapel) is a small Gothic stone church.

The Harpoint observatory has also been located here since the 1980s , a private small observatory with one of the most powerful telescopes in Upper Austria with a 50 cm reflector telescope. Visitor observations are possible.
