geography

Jägersee at the head of the Kleinarl valley

The community is located in Pongau in the Salzburg region on the edge of the Hohe Tauern National Park .

The Kleinarltal is a valley about 20 kilometers long that stretches south from Wagrain into the Radstädter Tauern . The valley is traversed by the Kleinarler Bach (Kleinarler Ache), which then flows into the Salzach as Wagrainer Ache near St. Johann im Pongau . Districts are Hinterkleinarl and Mitterkleinarl. Vorderkleinarl is part of the Wagrain municipality.

The highest mountain in the municipality is the Faulkogel ( 2654 m ), but the most striking and at the same time local mountain is the Ennskraxen ( 2410 m ), also known as Krax for short. The river Enns rises in the immediate vicinity - on the Flachau side in Flachau .

The landscape of the Kleinarltal is characterized by striking limestone stocks on the right-hand side of the valley going out of the valley. In addition, the Kleinarltal has numerous alpine pastures and extensive forest areas. At the end of the valley floor is the Jägersee , on an elevated valley step at 1,762 meters above sea level the Tappenkarsee .

After storms in August 2017, mudslides disappeared and creeks dammed up to form 2 new lakes near the Jägersee. In the meantime (summer 2019) both lakes have been removed by the estate management at Jägersee.

history

While the Kleine Arl, a tributary of the Salzach, can be documented as early as 930, the valley of the same name, and thus the area of today's Kleinarl community, was only made arable in the 12th century through the establishment of Schwaigen. The Kleine Arltal belonged to the Radstadt Care Court until the Wagrain Regional Court was established in the 15th century.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of the municipality is: "In a green shield a golden twelve-ended deer antlers with grind, between the bars a silver six-spoke wagon wheel."
