The Hocheck is 1037 m above sea level. A. high mountain in the Gutenstein Alps in Lower Austria . It is the highest point in the Triestingtal and, at 24 kilometers as the crow flies, it is the 1,000-meter peak closest to the Vienna city limits.
description
The Hocheck is located on the municipal border between Furth an der Triesting and Altenmarkt an der Triesting . It is the highest point of a 10-kilometer mountain range that branches off the main Alpine ridge at Veiglkogel in an easterly direction. From Furth there is a 6.5 kilometer toll road leading to the shelter. The road was closed to traffic for a good year and a half from July 1, 2016, but has been open again since April 28, 2018.
On the summit there is the freely accessible 13-meter-high Meyringer-Warte , immediately below the summit is the Hocheck-Schutzhaus and between the two there is a memorial for mountain comrades who died in the two world wars.
Up until around 1990 there were two T-bar lifts on the south-east side, directly below the Hocheck-Schutzhaus, and once, in 1906, a cogwheel railway leading from Furt im Furtertal to the summit of the Hocheck was also planned, a project that failed due to funding.
