The Lahnsattler Primeval Forest is a natural forest area on the southern slope of the Gippel-Göller area on the Lower Austria-Styrian border.

description

The Lahnsattler Primeval Forest is located on the hard-to-reach, southern slopes of the Göllers and Gippels . It covers an area of ​​23 hectares, has never been used for forestry and is owned by the Hoyos family . It consists of trees up to 600 years old, mighty, 350-year-old fir trees, wild ferns and rare European orchid species. However, it requires a lot of surefootedness and stamina, especially in the ice pit below the Göller. The forest has been under nature protection since 1905, entry is only possible under supervision. On the south side of the jungle, the Zellersteig runs to Mariazell.

history

The extensive forests originally belonged to the rule grounds on the Gscheidlhöhe , which were administered from Neuwald . Until the early 20th century, the forestry worker settlement was just below the Gscheidlhöhe Gscheidl . From the First World War, the timber industry was stopped and the settlement largely abandoned, but parts of the settlement have been preserved. A remnant of these surrounding forests remained largely untouched and is now known as the Lahnsattler Primeval Forest. Unlike the Rothwald , which had a similar orographic exclave location, this primeval forest is not a real primeval forest in the sense of a nature reserve, because it was always freely accessible. Otherwise the area on the Stillen Mürz is used for forestry and is today without special features.
