The Liesing (occasionally also called Liesingbach ) is a 40 km long river in the Leoben district in Upper Styria . Its valley forms the half of the connection between the Styrian Ennstal and the Upper Murtal, located south of the Schoberpass . Together with the Paltental, the Liesingtal forms the Palten-Liesing-Tal .
course
The Liesing Springs - near the same name, the community forest on Schoberpass belonging hamlet Liesing - at the foot of the 2,096 m high Himmelecks in the Seckau Alps . Their source streams are the waterfall ditch as the main course of the Liesingkar, the Thalerbach and the Igelgraben . It flows here southeast, then northeast.
At the village of Unterwald , which also belongs to Wald am Schoberpass , it turns into the connecting valley between Enns and Mur, the Liesingtal , which leads over the Schoberpass and then runs in a south-easterly direction. It passes Kalwang with Pisching on the other side of the valley, Liesingau and Mautern in Styria , Kammern im Liesingtal with Pfaffendorf , another place Liesing , Seiz and Mötschendorf , as well as Timmersdorf , Traboch and Madstein , where it turns south.
At Liesingtal , around 3.5 km before its mouth, it enters the Murtal widening near Sankt Michael in Upper Styria , where it flows into the Mur at 596 m above sea level .
The Liesingtal forms the southern part of the connecting valley between the Ennstal and the Murtal, which leads over the Schoberpass . This entire valley course is called Palten-Liesing-Tal or Liesing-Palten-Tal , sometimes just called Paltental , named after the Palten in the northern section. An outdated name is Kammertal . The source valley of the Liesing, on the other hand, is called the Liesinggraben .
This Palten – Liesing furrow forms part of the large inner-alpine longitudinal valley furrows : It connects the Salzach – Enns furrow, which continues towards Mariazell ( Salzach-Enns-Mariazell-Puchberg-Lineament SEMP), with the Mur-Mürz furrow towards Semmering .
Ennstal, Liesing-Palten-Tal and Mur-Mürz-Tal as well as form the three core areas of Upper Styria . This west-east-trending valley train has a length of almost 200 kilometers in Styria from the Mandling Pass near Schladming to the Semmering Pass.
Tributaries
Over its entire course, the Liesing receives a number of small tributaries from the short side valleys on both sides. One of the larger backwaters is the ponds coming from the north from the Eisenerzer Alps , which flow into the municipality of Kalwang. The Seizerbach and Veitscherbach and their tributaries drain the western part of the Trofaiach basin .
traffic
The valley from Liesing and Palten over the Schoberpass is the best and by far the lowest crossing of the entire main Alpine ridge , and thus one of the old Alpine crossings . But because it only connects the inner-alpine valleys of Enns and Mur, this passage is sealed off south through the Mur breakthrough valley to Graz or to the east the Semmering Pass towards Vienna, to the north by the Pyhrn pass and the Gesäuse near Admont, to the northwest the Salzkammergut . There is only a connection westward in the direction of the Salzachtal without a higher mountain pass via the Ennspongau near Radstadt-Altenmarkt. There, however, the Lueg Pass is another bottleneck.
In the Liesingtal, a section of the Pyhrn Autobahn A 9 runs as a trunk road , which forms the high-speed connection between the two major cities of Linz and Graz . There are driveways in Kalwang, Mautern and Traboch and - actually already in the Murtal - in Sankt Michael at the intersection with the Semmering expressway S 6.
As a regional road connection, the Schoberpass Straße B 113 runs through the entire valley. The volume of traffic on this corresponds to the economic structure of the area; in the late 20th century, before the completion of the motorway, this part of the guest worker route was particularly prone to accidents.
Historically speaking, a section of the Rudolfsbahn runs through the Liesingtal as a long-distance railway connection . Today the railway line is part of the long-distance connections between Graz and Linz as well as Graz and Salzburg . Long-distance trains only stop at Sankt Michael train station. As a regional offer, there is a local connection from Sankt Michael to Wald am Schoberpass. The stops are St. Michael, Kammern, Mautern, Kalwang and Wald am Schoberpass.
