The Palfnerkogel , also Palfner Kogel or Schwarzkogel is 1413  m above sea level. A. high mountain in the Salzach valley near Bischofshofen .

Location and landscape

The Palfnerkogel is left in Salzachpongau , between the Salzach in St. Johann pool in St. Johann im Pongau and the Mühlbachtal in Mühlbach . This makes it part of the eastern roof of the Dientner Mountains , the main group of the Salzburg Slate Alps .

The name describes the entire ridge that stretches from the Hochglocker  ( 1588  m above sea level ) northeast to Bischofshofen. It runs from the Schleichkogel  ( 1422  m above sea level ) between Rettenebenalm and Pronebenalm about 2 kilometers largely flat to the actual summit Palfner- / Schwarzkogel , then descends slightly to the Kohlmaißhöhe  ( 1198  m above sea level ), and then forms the remaining about 2 kilometers more clearly falling the left Salzach valley.

At the east foot are Rainbach , the eponymous Palfner Dörfl ( Palfen 'rock'), on the slopes desert , at the mouth of the Mühlbach Mitterberghütten , and at the north foot parts of Haidberg and into the valley the place Mühlbach .

Rainbachgraben , Palfnerbach and several other small channels drain to the Salzach , likewise to the Mühlbach.

Geology, mining and development

The Palfnerkogel ridge consists entirely of the Schattberg / Löhnersbach formation of the Grauwackenzone ( Ordovician - Devonian , approx. 500–400 million years), gray phyllitic slate (black slate), against the Mühlbachtal also gloss slate , the extremely fragile material , which forms the unstable problem slopes above the Hochkönigstraße  (B164). There are also interspersed diabase deposits of volcanic origin ( metamagmatites of the metabasite group , Old Paleozoic ), as they are characteristic of the area around St. Johann, Zell am See and Kitzbühel.

This geology determines the Palfnerkogel as a deposit. Copper pies and especially pale ore ( tetrahedron ) are bound to the old Paleozoic layers. Here is the southern district of the Mitterberg copper mining , which was already operated in prehistoric times ( mining wasteland , 2nd millennium BC). The occurrence is a continuation of the Mühlbach occurrence and extends to the Buchberg Salzachtal opposite. There are three west-east corridors known, the Brander, Burgschwaig and Birgste entrance . The Birgstein gangway was dismantled in 1855–1879 by the Joseph and Walpurga galleries (Bürgstein copper union) . The Burgschwaiggang was opened in the Klara and Luisenstollen . The most important, the fire corridor ( copper mining wastelands of Mitterberger Kupfer  AG), was (re) opened up from the beginning of the 20th century ( Oberer Höchstollen , Höchstollen , Unterer Höchstollen near Höch , as well as Arthurstollen to Mühlbach, with the following civil engineering). The dismantling was finally stopped in 1957 due to lack of profitability. Most recently, around 20 t of stone was extracted every day, the metal content was around 1.4–1.8% Cu. The tunnel also served as a transport route to Mühlbach and as a water pipe tunnel.
This mining - the Arthurstollen is listed and set up as a show mine - is to be presented in the future as part of the Ore of the Alps Geopark (just like the Hochglocker mining area ).

One of the two 220 kV lines to be replaced by the controversial 380 kV Salzburg line and the 110 kV line to Zell am See via Saalfelden run on the slope of the Palfnerkogel .
