The Irrsberg is 844 m above sea level. A. high mountain on the northern edge of the Alps near Straßwalchen in the province of Salzburg on the border with Upper Austria .
Location and landscape
The mountain is a gentle knoll, which is the extension of the Kolomansberg to the north into the Alpine foothills . The Alps then end orographically at Straßwalchen to the north, followed by Tannberg (geologically still part of the Alps) and Hausruck-und-Kobernaußerwald-Zug (Alpine foothills). The mountain drains over the Irrsdorfer Bach to the east and Seizbach from the Sattel - Pfongauer Bach to the west completely over Hainbach - Schwemmbach to Mattig and the Inn near Braunau, so hydrographically belongs to the Alpine foothills.
The summit is only around 500 meters from the Upper Austrian state border, which runs over its south-east shoulder.
The larger towns around the mountain are Pfongau near Neumarkt am Wallersee and Steindorf to the west, Straßwalchen to the northwest, Irrsdorf directly at the foot to the northeast and Oberhofen (municipality of Oberhofen am Irrsee ) to the east. A saddle ( 656 m above sea level ) leads to the Kolomansberg ( 1114 m above sea level ), which is called Sommerholz Sommerholzer Sattel after the church to the south , mostly simply Sommerholz as an area.
geology
The mountain belongs to the cement marl series ( Coniacium - Campanium , middle Upper Cretaceous, approx. 90–70 million years old) of the Flysch Zone , to the south lies the Altlengbach Formation ( Maastrichtian - Thanetium , Wende Cretaceous / Paleocene, 70–50 million years old). This tectonic discordance continues in the Kogler Berg and Schoibernberg on the other side of the Irrsee.
The Irrsberg marks the point where the lobe of the Salzach glacier , which has shaped the Salzburg lake area ("Wallerseegletscher"), and that of the Dachstein glacier , which has furrowed the Mondseeland (locally called "Mondseegletscher" or "Irrseegletscher"), met . In the Mindel (around 450,000 years ago) and Riss ice ages (around 200,000 years ago), Irrsberg and Koglerberg – Schoibernberg were typical nunataks , rock islands protruding from the ice mass. Throughout the eastern foot along at about 500- 650 m above sea level. A. run the younger Riss marginal moraines of the Irrseegletscher, in the west there are partly ground and partly marginal moraines. A remnant of the higher Mindel gravel (around 700 m ) has been preserved on the Sommerholzer Sattel.
The northeast flank at Taigen is an old sliding mass .
Development
The mountain is easy to climb from all sides, a forest path leads from Steindorf to the summit. At the summit there is a concrete area of the armed forces on which a radar system is temporarily stationed.
