The Klostertaler Gscheid is 764  m above sea level. A. high mountain pass in southern Lower Austria , which connects the Klostertal northeast of it, including the village of Klostertal, with the southwestern Voisbachtal and the village of Vois (municipality of Schwarzau in the mountains ). The Gscheid separates the Gutenstein Alps in the north from the Rax-Schneeberg group in the south.

Infrastructure

There is a small chapel at the top of the pass. The paved state road L134 leads over the pass. The road runs from northeast to southwest along the northern slopes of Schneeberg . There are climbing options to the Schneeberg to the west and east of the pass. Due to the sparsely populated area in the region and its location away from major thoroughfares, the pass is only of local importance and has little traffic demand. Therefore, it is popular with motorcyclists. There is no winter closure, the pass is only closed in extremely rare extreme situations due to the danger of avalanches.

geology

The Klostertaler Gscheid is like the nearby Schneeberg in the Northern Limestone Alps , but in the tectonically deeper Göller Nappe , which here mainly consists of Wetterstein dolomite , Lunz formation and main dolomite . (Also written Trenkwiese) from the high and Kuhschneeberg through the cold water ditch on the Tränkwiese withdrew to the last ice age of below the pass (Putzenhof) Trenkwiesen glacier , a major moraine left behind in the area of the pass.
