The Kampriesenalm is an alpine pasture in the Obersulzbachtal in the Venediger Group , in the Neukirchen am Großvenediger municipality in Salzburg . It is located in the Hohe Tauern National Park .

Location and landscape

The Kampriesenalm is located in the front Obersulzbachtal, on a slope shoulder on the right side of the valley at 1415  m above sea level. A. , almost 200 meters above the valley floor, where the Obersulzbach passes a gorge-like section. Since the front valley is not otherwise cultivated, it is the first alpine pasture in Obersulzbachtal, about four kilometers south of the Salzach valley near Sulzau .

The Alm is still original today, with two alpine huts and two stables in raw log construction. The alpine pastures extend out of the valley up to the Silberofen  ( 2022  m above sea level ), and into the valley to the Wechselkamm, otherwise the alpine pasture is surrounded by steep forest.

geology

The Alm lies on a band of old Paleozoic slate, which stripes northeast across the Untersulzbachtal to the entrance of the Habach Valley , and here in the Obersulzbachtal forms one of the characteristic elevations that extends over to the Gamseckfall at the Berndalm and Seebachfall , the same formation can also be found out of the valley on Hopffeldboden ( ⊙ ) (first stage of the valley). The slate ( mica slate to phyllite ) belong to the Habach group , a formation of the northern slate hull, otherwise the surrounding mountains belong entirely to the central gneiss . The slate series is principally known for its occurrence of mineral resources ( e.g. gold at the Finkalm / Abichlalm in the Untersulzbachtal and on the Gamskogel in the Habachtal, the northern copper vein - today's Hochfeld show mine near the Untersulzbacher Knappenwand), little is known about the remains of mining here in the Obersulzbachtal. The Kampriesenalm is known among mineral collectors as a site for rutile (titanium dioxide, TiO 2 ), although the more productive sites are also in the Untersulzbachtal. Also Fuchsite (chlorine mica) was found here.

From the Kampriesenalm to the Berndlalm , the Obersulzbachtal is characterized by large landslides; the Alm, like the Brendl-Hochalm, lies on mighty post-glacial debris sediments.

History and legend

The alpine pasture can be found in older sources as the battle giants .

The legend goes from here that the Kampriesen (spirits) bypassed, mountain spirits who guarded precious minerals and gold. The "(fighting) giants" are probably ethno-tymological , content related to the Bergmandln , foreign prospectors (natural treasure and mineral seekers), as with many similar alpine legends with a historical core.
From the time when the Almung belonged to the brewery farmer in Wald , it is said that he did not go to Christmas mass , but rather went to the Alm instead. There were three "miserably long men with shaggy beards and disheveled hair", one was standing at the Kaskessel , the second stirred the butter bucket , the third cooked Muas . But when the farmer saw their glowing eyes or that they had billy goat claws instead of their feet, he ran home in panic, fell ill and died soon afterwards. This motif of the mountain ghosts punishing those who skip Christmas mass can also be found in several places.

Since 1983 the alp has been part of the national park area (buffer zone).

Alpinism

You pass the Kampriesenalm at the entrance from Neukirchen or Wald via Sulzau and Hollis / Siggen through Obersulzbachtal (in about 2½ hours) or from the Hopffeldboden car park (in 1 hour) to the Berndlalm and further into the valley (to the Berndlalm about ½ hour), if you do not choose the route via the supply road on the other side of the valley (fork in the road at Hopfboden). The path is part of the Salzburg- wide Arnoweg (Section 3 Keesberge , Section 21 Kürsinger Hut - Neukirchen a. Grv. ).
Shortly after the Alm you can branch off towards Seebachalm .

  1. ↑ The Franciscan cadastre around 1830 shows the right slope of the valley as far as Hopffeldboden ( ⊙ ) and the ridge completely unwooded, and not separated from the Brendlalm (at that time Wimmer Alm), only below the mountain forest. Franciscan cadastre as a map layer on SAGIS online.
