The Kammersberger Höhe is about 1060  m above sea level. A. high mountain saddle in Upper Styria .

location

The saddle is located between the middle Katschtal and the upper Wölzertal , two side valleys of the upper Mur Valley . It lies between St. Peter am Kammersberg and Winklern .

It connects the Pleschaitz group with the main ridge of the Niedere Tauern . The Pleschaitz ( 1797  m above sea level ) stands directly above the Murtal, and belongs to the Mur Mountains , the Kammersberger Höhe belongs to the Murparalleltal train that accompanies the Murtal north. The gently hilly pass landscape lies north on the Kammersberg  ( 1114  m above sea level ; Buttererkreuz  1072  m ) and the upper Fostboden towards Pöllau . From there the ridge stretches up to Greim  ( 2474  m above sea level ) and the Rettlkirchspitze  ( 2474  m above sea level ) in the Tauern main ridge, which - located east of the Sölkpass - are already part of the Wölzer Tauern .

The state road L512, which connects St. Peter and the town of Oberwölz , crosses a little to the northwest of the saddle point on Vogelbichl, at the Pöllau / Kammersberg intersection, known locally as the Schwarze Sau ( 1092  m above sea level ).

geology

The Murparalleltal is part of the Noric Depression . These like the Mur-Mürz furrow are distinctive tectonic fault lines. They were overprinted here by the Murtal Glacier . The Kammersberg is an old valley level of the pre-glacial main valley, which stretched from here over the Neumarkter Sattel and the Olsa into the Carinthian basin . Only when the Gurk and Seetal Alps rose above the low mountain range did the Mur break through to the east and the valleys deepened further. The saddle of the Kammersberger Höhe and Pöllau could also be a pre-Ice Age river course from the Katsch to the Wölztal.

history

The high path of the Katschtalstraße, which has been used since Roman times, led over the Kammersberg along the ridge line, to the south of the Buttererkreuz was the Kammersberg castle stable , to the north-west of the Wachenberg castle stable .
