The Oisberg is a mountain in southwestern Lower Austria. Sometimes the mountain is also called Bauernboden . The predominantly wooded ridge extends over nine kilometers from southwest to northeast and in the northeast in the Alpl reaches a height of 1405  m above sea level. A.

Further elevations in the main ridge are from southwest to northeast Hahnköpfl 1224  m above sea level. A. , Glitzenkopf 1328  m above sea level. A. , Rotmauer 1330  m above sea level A. , who often climbed gene of Opponitz or Hollenstein snow Kogel 1,373  m above sea level. A. , Kleiner Schneekogel 1344  m above sea level. A. , Hühnerkogel 1345  m above sea level. A. From the west, the Krenngraben cuts deeply into the Oisberg and thus separates a northern side ridge from the main ridge, which is 1000  m above sea level in the Kothaufenberg . A. ends.

The mountain is surrounded on the south, west and north-west side by the Ybbs , which is now only called in the upper reaches of Lunz Ois . On the east side, the saddle of the Große Kripp separates the Oisberg from the neighboring Friesling . The Oisberg lies in the territory of three communities: Hollenstein an der Ybbs , Opponitz and St. Georgen am Reith .

The Steinbach spring, a karst spring at the western foot of the Oisberg

geology

From a geological point of view, the Oisberg is a basin that contains sedimentary rocks from the Lunzer Nappe. While mainly the main dolomite and plate limestone from the Triassic emerge on the flanks, rocks of the basin core from radiolarite to marl-calcareous sediments of the Cretaceous Schrambach Formation can be found near the ridge . On the Oisberg there are also caves like the Kalkgrubenschacht or the Steinbachquelle one kilometer north of Hollenstein. The pouring of this karst spring reacts directly to precipitation events and therefore fluctuates very strongly between 25 liters per second up to over 10,000 liters per second. Two people were killed during a dive in this spring on April 15, 1984.

economy

The forests on the Oisberg are largely used for forestry purposes. Accordingly, the mountain is covered with a dense network of forest roads. Today there are alpine areas only in the eastern area of ​​the Oisberg in the ridge area and north of it, where there is also an alpine hut, the Annahütte .
