Lammertal jungle
The Lammertal Primeval Forest is a forest area in the Lammertal , Land Salzburg , which is said to have the tallest trees in Austria.
Location and landscape
The Lammertal jungle is located on the southern roof of the Tennengebirge , not far from Lungötz , on the Hofschoberberg , a southern foothill of the mountain range, towards the uppermost Lammertal. It stands above Lammerthal in the municipality of St. Martin am Tennengebirge .
The wooded area
On the southern edge of the Tennengebirge there are regionally very favorable growing conditions. In addition, because of its location, the forest was never used intensively for forestry purposes, but rather the protective forest function for the Hofhaus / Spießhof settlement below was seen as a priority. Furthermore, the Aualm military training area adjoins to the west , preventing the Hofschoberberg from being developed through forestry.
This enabled a natural plenter forest to develop on around 10 hectares , the oldest trees of which are estimated to be around 300-350 years old.
The most famous trees in the forest are:
- the big beech (mother of the forest) , a 300-year-old European beech
- the Lammertaler Wächter , a fir tree 44 m high, over 160 cm stick diameter , 5.60–5.80 m chest height and 46 solid cubic meters of wood
- the old tax , a spruce 48 m high and 42 solid meters
Conservation and development
For the time being, the forest area is only protected as part of the Tennengebirge landscape protection area, and has not yet been explicitly designated. Protection was included in the biotope mapping, where it is recorded as a spruce-fir-beech forest on Hofschoberberg (BKz. 553120123, 5.2 ha) and mixed forest in the (north) east of the Aualm (BKz. 553120072, 6.6 ha) the eastern part recommended as a natural forest reserve .
The forest is easy to reach from Lammertal up. The approx. 8 km long trekking path from St. Martin connects the sycamore maple on the Seireralm (protected natural formation), the yew tree in the Schoberberg district , the Haranger moss , the fir tree (also a protected natural formation) and the Lammertal primeval forest .
