The Hochgolling is a mountain in the main Alpine ridge on the border between Salzburg's Lungau and Styria . With a height of 2862 m above sea level. A. it is the highest mountain in the Schladminger Tauern and the entire Niedere Tauern . The showpiece of the mountain, which slopes steeply on all sides and is characterized by dark rock, is its approximately 1000 meter high north face.
Surname
The name "Golling" can be traced back to the Slavic golъ (bald).
Location and surroundings
The Hochgolling rises on the municipal areas of Göriach and Lessach in Salzburg's Lungau as well as on the municipal area of Schladming in the Styrian district of Liezen . Its shape resembles a triangular, truncated pyramid with three prominent ridges that slope down into steep mountain slopes on all sides. The mountain has the greatest angle of inclination on its north side with the imposing, around 1000 meter high north face. Together with the Gollingwinkel, this forms the end of the elongated Styrian lower valley . The Gollingwinkel is framed by the main Alpine ridge , which forms the watershed between the Mur and Enns .
The north-west ridge of the Hochgolling sinks into the sharp Gollingscharte ( 2326 m ) and connects the Hochgolling with the Zwerfenberg ( 2642 m ) and Elendberg ( 2672 m ). The northeast ridge drops down to the Rottor (around 2270 m ) and continues over the Große Gangl ( 2602 m ) to the Greifenberg ( 2618 m ). To the south, the Hochgolling sends a mighty side ridge: the south ridge runs over the Tramörtenscharte ( 2442 m ) to the Weißhöhe ( 2659 m ) and on to the shapely Kasereck ( 2740 m ). This separates the Lessach valley with the Lessachwinkel in the east from the Göriachtal with the Göriachwinkel in the west.
geology
The Hochgolling has a base made of paragneiss , which merges into a flat-breaking feldspar-rich amphibolite around 100 meters thick at a height of 2400 to 2500 meters . The western flank is also crossed by an amphibolite train between 2200 and 2400 meters. The summit area consists of lighter, fine-grain orthogneiss and phyllonites .
Tourist development
The Tamsweg doctor and chronicler Joseph Alois Vogt recorded the first ascent of the Hochgolling in 1791 with the succinct words “On August 8th, several Damsweegers climbed the Hochgailling” in his diary. This was first published in 1853 by Ignaz von Kürsinger in his Lungau Chronicle .
In 1811 Bavarian surveyors built a four-meter-high stone pyramid on the summit, which they painted black on the Salzburg side. The first touristic ascent of the Hochgolling by Archduke Johann on August 28, 1817 attracted particular attention. For this purpose, the hunter Jakob Buchsteiner (first ascent of the Torstein ) made the path as easy as possible and took steps in the final narrow ridge.
The Hochgolling north face was climbed for the first time in the descent of Josef Borde on September 2, 1897. On September 20, 1921 Franz Herdlicka and his companions climbed the north face in its central part (Turnerbergsteigerweg, III ). Two years later, on August 4, 1923, Kurt Winzig and Richard Wagner followed them in an even more direct way (Winzig-Wagner-Führe, IV ) - only seven weeks before their fatal crash in the Lugauer West Face.
Climbs
Archduke Johann's climb ( classic route ) runs largely through the northwest flank and forms today's normal route from the Gollingscharte to the summit ( I ). The experienced hiker is offered an attractive alternative in the final ascent with the ascent of the marked north-west ridge ( II ). Approaches to the Gollingscharte are marked from the Styrian Untertal and the Salzburg Göriachtal. Possible hut bases are the Styrian Gollinghütte ( 1641 m ) and the Salzburg Landawirseehütte ( 1985 m ).
