location
The Lichtenberg is colloquially mostly referred to as G sharp , named after the Gisela-Warte located on it . The Lichtenberg serves the Linz agglomeration as a local recreation area and, along with Pöstlingberg and Pfenningberg, is one of Linz's classic local mountains at the gateway to the Mühlviertel. When the view is clear, a view far into the foothills of the Alps to the Dachstein massif is impressive . In the cold season, Lichtenberg is mostly above the layers of high fog in the Linz basin .
On the Lichtenberg rises the habenleitenbach and the small Haselbach .
history
In 1702 ,zazilia Hengstschläger opened a snack station, which was gradually expanded into the Gasthaus zur Gis , which is still owned by the Hengstschläger family today .
In 1856/57 the lookout tower, the Giselawarte, was built.
In 1934 the Dr.-Alexander-Brenner-House of the ÖTB was built.
In 1957 an excursion road from Altlichtenberg to the Gis, the Gisstrasse, with a parking lot and bus reversal, was laid out and a post bus connection from Linz was set up, which was discontinued in the early 1990s.
Since 1959, the Lichtenberg transmitter , a VHF and television transmitter , has been rising up from the summit of Lichtenberg .
Gisela waitress
This observation tower was built from 1856 to 1857 and completed in 1857 in honor of Archduchess Gisela - a daughter of Emperor Franz Joseph and his wife Elisabeth . It is kept in the Mühlviertel's usual stone castle style. The nearby Johann Pollack spring commemorates the alleged building initiator, the Linz businessman Johann Pollack .
In 1877 the control room came into the possession of the German and Austrian Alpine Club . In 1881 a wooden structure was built. In 1921 the Austrian Mountain Association bought the waiting room, and since 1938 it has been owned by the Austrian Alpine Association again. Towards the end of the Second World War , it was damaged by air raids on Linz. In 1959/60 it was extensively renovated and, as the trees partially blocked the view, it was raised to 17.54 meters. The Giselawarte has been a listed building since 2009.
leisure
Connected to the neighboring communities by an extensive network of trails, the Gis attracts hikers and mountain bikers alike. The Salzsteigweg , an Austrian long-distance hiking trail , also leads over the summit. In winter, several cross-country trails are regularly groomed.
The sports competitions Gis-Lauf (since 1974) and Gis Bike Challenge (since 2017) are held annually.
