The Jochart is a 1266 m above sea level. A. high mountain in the Gutenstein Alps in Lower Austria . Similar to the nearby, better known Unterberg, it is a popular destination for ski tours .
location
The Jochart rises in the western part of the Gutenstein Alps, about 2½ kilometers northwest of Rohr im Gebirge and about 8 kilometers west-southwest of the somewhat higher Unterberg , with which it dominates the Unterberg – Jochart mountain group . The border between the municipal areas of Rohr im Gebirge and Kleinzell , which also forms the border between the political districts of Wiener Neustadt-Land and Lilienfeld , runs over its summit .
The Jochart forms a short ridge running roughly in a west-east direction, the north flank being altogether steeper than the south flank. The Bergstock is mostly forested, but has some larger clearings to the south and west of the summit.
Name of the mountain
The origin of the name seems puzzling. What is certain, however, is that the name of the mountain is feminine and must therefore correctly be called Die Jochart , even if the incorrect, masculine form of Der Jochart is sometimes used in hiking literature .
Climbs
The Jochart is much less visited than its two more well-known and somewhat higher neighboring mountains : the Unterberg in the east-northeast and the Reisalpe in the northwest. It was therefore pictorially referred to as the “little shadow of the foothills”. The main reasons for this are the lack of refuges on the Bergstock and the relative seclusion of the valley town of Rohr in the mountains. On the other hand, the Jochart was able to retain its calm character and today offers more natural landscape than other parts of the Gutenstein Alps.
The wooden summit cross on the Jochart is surrounded by trees all around. The clearings south and west of the highest point, on the other hand, offer a wide panorama from the Schneeberg to the Ötscher and even some peaks in the Gesäuse . The comparatively little known Jochart represents a “first-class alpine scene”.
The Jochart can be reached from Rohr am Gebirge via two marked climbs, which can be ideally combined in any direction.
- The more frequent route leads from Rohr im Gebirge past large farms in a west-north-west direction to the Schacherkreuz and on a moderate incline up to about 900 meters above sea level. There the route turns sharply to the right and leads significantly steeper from the south to the summit, with large clearings offering a good view of the Schneeberg and the Rax . Walking time: 1¾ to 2 hours.
- The second route briefly follows the side road along the Klausbach , then leads into the narrow ditch In der Öd and relatively steeply from the south to the saddle of the Hammerleck ( 987 m above sea level ). From then - in sections on forest roads - over the eastern ridge in a medium slope to the summit. Walking time: about 2 hours.
- Another marked ascent begins at the Halbachklamm 2 kilometers north of the Kalten Kuchl and leads eastwards in only a moderate incline until it meets the south ascent from Rohr at the Schacherkreuz . Walking time: 2½ to 3 hours.
In winter, the Jochart is a mostly avalanche-safe destination for ski tours . The cheapest starting point is the Klausbach valley; However, one ascent variant and both rewarding downhill routes differ from the summer path.
The Jochart is also well suited for snowshoe hikes if the conditions are right, with a combination of the two summer trails from Rohr im Gebirge.
Plane crash
On December 5, 1974, a Beechcraft Musketeer B24R Sierra 200 crashed about 100 meters below the summit on a moderately steep slope. One man was killed, another survived the accident. Large parts of the aircraft, such as the rudder or a wing, can still be found on the slope today.
