The Lackenberg is 925  m above sea level. A. high knoll near Mondsee in the Salzkammergut mountains of Upper Austria .

Location and landscape

The mountain is located north of the Mondsee in the municipality of Tiefgraben , directly north of Mondsee, and southeast of Zell am Moos and the Irrsee (Zellersee) . It is the northern branch of the Mondseeberg , with which it is connected via the Wildmoos pass landscape  ( 790  m above sea level ). Below in the valley between Mondsee and Zellersee are the localities Weißenstein and Guggenberg , at the southern foot of the Schlössl , which already belongs to Mondsee. The north roof runs into the Haslau .

The summit area is wooded, there are several small villages in two steps down to the valley, from Mondsee Wiesinger , Kaltenhaus , Grub , Hingen and Gausen , and above Au an der Hochmoos region, Lacken and Zellgraben . To the north are the Zell-am-Mooser towns of Lindau , Oberbrandstatt , as well as Sulzberg (still Tiefgraben), Vormoos , Breitenau , Entersgraben and Harpoint . Neuhäusl is located on the Hochmoos and Wildmoos with Ebnat on the east shoulder .

The Vöckla rises in the Hochmoos , the upper course of which goes north to Vöcklamarkt , its valley to Harpoint forms the border to the Saurüsselwald to the east , the core of the mountain group around Mondseeberg and Saurüssel as part of the Flysch area between Irrsee and Attersee and the Mondsee Flyschberge .

Surname

In GM Vischer 1667 there is Hingererhuet for the mountain , probably after the locality Hingen at the foot of the Zellersee. The town of Lacken, which is named today, is located directly above. This name appears as Lacknerberg in the Josephinische (1.) Landesaufnahme around 1780.

Geology, Hydrography and Conservation

Geologically, the Lackenberg belongs to the flysch zone , it consists of Oberkreideflysch, namely in the summit area and down to the Weißenstein cement marl series ( Coniacium - Campanium , approx. 90-70 million years old), north and south of it, however, the Altlengbach Formation ( Maastrichtian - Thanetium , Turn of the Cretaceous / Paleocene, 70–50 million years old). This fold is typical for the Mondsee Flysch Mountains and is repeated several times up to the edge of the Alps.

The north roof and east shoulder are marginal moraines of the Riss glaciation (around 200,000 old), they are at 800 meters, i.e. 400 meters above the valley floor. At that time, the Lackenberg jutted out of the ice mass as a nunatak (across from the Wildmoos - at Bergerfang below the Hochalm , Kote 838 - there is a Mindel moraine (approx. 400,000 years ago) at 850 m, at that time the summit could be due to the Damming was also covered with ice). The valley slope consists of gravel deposits dating back to the Würm period (100,000-10,000 years ago), here there is a zone of marginal moraines at around 700  m , which is fully traceable especially to the north as far as the Haslau and the Gommersberg - Schoibernberg -Fuß, and below a zone Drumlins (gravel hill des Glacier base). These zones characterize the two floors of the place.

The Mondsee tongue of the Dachstein glacier divided into a Thalgau tongue and an Irrsee tongue on the Kolomannsberg opposite, and the Lackenberg marks the point where its direction of flow swiveled from northwest to north towards Straßwalchen . The mountain flank and the valley floor at Schlößl and Weißenstein are rock, so the glacier is likely to have crossed a rock bar here and therefore digged the Irrsee behind it. The Weißenstein still marks the top of the pass of the road from Mondsee to Zell am Moos, the connecting stream of the two lakes, the Zellerache , has cut deeper to the west. Hochmoos and Haslau were shaped by side tongues, so the Lackenberg split the glacier again, the Wildmoos branch extended beyond Ebnat northeast of the summit, the glacier could have almost completely bypassed the Lackenberg at the peak during the Rift period.

There are numerous trenches and streams typical of the flysch. The Lackenberg forms the watershed between the Vöckla , which is moving northwards, and the Ager with its catchment areas Attersee and the Mondsee area, which moves inward into the Alps and represents the retreat area of ​​the Mondsee Glacier.

At the lowest point between the Lackenberg and the Mondseeberg to the southeast is the Wildmoos high moor . This largely untouched watershed raised bog overgrown with mountain pines is under nature protection.
