The high lift is a 609 m above sea level. A. high ridge in the eastern Traunviertel in Upper Austria .
Location and landscape
The west-east stretching, a good 5 kilometers long ridge lies between the Lower Steyrtal near Aschach an der Steyr and Steinbach an der Steyr , and the Ennstal near Garsten and Ternberg , culminating in the municipality of Aschach. To the south lies the ditch of the Dambach (Schädlbach) , a brook to the Enns . To the northeast, the Garstner Bach also goes to the Enns, one of which is a source brook (Brambergerbach) that rises at the summit and its valley is called Hell . There the high-lift ridge spreads out in a narrow riedel towards the Garstener Ennsniederung. The Schreinerbach , which also rises at the summit, and the Ahbach to the Steyr go northwest .
The ridge of the high lift is an agricultural area. In addition to the many wooded ditches on both sides, there is a larger forest remnant on the north-eastern edge with the Upper Gschneid .
A road runs along the ridge line from Steinbach to Lahrndorf an der Enns (Lahrndorferstraße) . The farms here belong to the Aschach locality of Haagen . The houses on the south flank (and partly also north of the ridge) belong to Mitteregg , a scattered area of Aschach, Steinbach and Ternberg.
To the north is the ridge of Aschach - Saaß (Oberfeld, approx. 440 m above sea level ), as the last ridge of the pre-Alps to the Traun-Enns-Platte . As a result, the mountain offers an excellent view of the Alpine foothills. The Kaiblinger Kogel ( 752 m above sea level ) rises to the south , and behind it the mountains of the Reichraminger Hintergebirge .
The mountain belongs to the flysch zone of the eastern Upper Austrian pre-Alps ( flysch zone between Krems and Enns ) and the Enns and Steyrtal flysch mountains .
geology
The flysch is the Altlengbach formation on the southern flank, and the cement marl series on the ridge line and northern flank (Wende Kreide – Tertiary, approx. 90–60 million years old). Directly in the summit area is a narrow zone Helvetikum ( Hochhubfenster , stained marl series ), which are open at the top Brambergbach and the corresponding side of the trench Ahbach.
history
The mountain was originally called Hocheck , this name can be found in documents as early as 1380 as "auffm hochekk". The name Hochhub , after the homestead directly at the summit (Haagen 7), is only found in the early 19th century.

- ↑ Franziszaean cadastre ( original folder , around 1830, Mittereck 1826) gives the farm names Hochhuber and Gipfelkote Hochhub (two measurement symbols , without height); the inscription of the Josephinische Landesaufnahme (around 1780) Hochhuber (?) is difficult to read due to the cut of the leaf and the hatching (the back at that time still largely closed, wooded); the first mention of this name in 1857 by Souvent (administrative map of the Archduke of Austria above the Enns) by ops.cit. Wiesinger 2001 erroneously (Card Urmappe and Souvent online DORIS topic first country record , all land shots Arcanum / Austrian State Archives: mapire.eu ).
