Karlstift

Karlstift is a village in the market town of Bad Großpertholz in Lower Austria .

Karlstift is located seven kilometers southwest of Bad Großpertholz at the junction of Gmünder Strasse and Böhmerwald Strasse , which leads to Freistadt. The town also includes the Rotte Stadlberg and the scattered settlements Eichelberg and Gugu . The Karlstift settlement came into being when Karl von Hackelberg-Landau (1643–1710) moved his glassworks from Reichenau am Freiwald here. The place was then named after him.

Carlstüft was first mentioned in 1668 in the parish of Großpertholz. When this glassworks burned down in 1752, his son Karl von Hackelberg-Landau relocated it to the west and named it after his son Ehrenreichstal . The stately Meierhof was built on the site of the burned down glassworks and Karlstift remained as a lumberjack settlement. As a result of the boom in the timber industry, the place grew into the 20th century.

In 1850, Karlstift was constituted as a separate community, which in 1971 joined the community of Großpertholz.

The northwest lying Eichelsberg (m 1,054), also called Aichelberglifte leads since 1970 the Aichelberg lift , which together with the cross-country skiing is a popular winter sports facilities of regional importance.

Karlstift is located on several long-distance hiking trails, the north-south long-distance hiking trail , the Nordwaldkammweg and the European long-distance hiking trails E6 and E8 .
