The Paschberg is a wooded ridge at the foot of the Patscherkofel in the south of Innsbruck , its summit is the Lanser Kopf ( 930 m above sea level ). It is an important local recreation area .
Location, landscape and geology
The area extends from the Sillschlucht and Viller Bach in the west to the Lanser Bach near Ambras Castle in the east. In a north-south direction, the Paschberg extends from the valley floor of the Inn Valley near Innsbruck to the ice-age terraces - known as the low mountain range - between Lans and Vill . This is a remnant of dead ice that, after being covered with sediments and melted underground, left a depression that still includes some dead pits ( Lanser See , Mühlsee ), some of which have also silted up ( Lanser Moor , Viller Moor ). The Paschberg is the remainder of the edge of the valley that has remained after the Inn Valley has deepened.
History and Development
The area of the low mountain range is prehistoric settlement area, the most important settlement was probably at Goldbichl south of Igls (evidence from the Stone Age, especially Bronze Age), but settlement remains were also found at Goarmbichl at the foot of the Lanser Kopf near Vill (La-Tène). Since it is assumed today that the original settlement of the Alps comprised the altitude, not the swampy valley floor, the area together with the other valley shoulders represent the core of Innsbruck's settlement. At this time, the lake on the high plateau was likely to have been significantly larger, as the findings on the Groambichl suggest.
Up into the Middle Ages, the mountain, which was first mentioned by name in 1141 in a document from Wilten Abbey as "Phlanters" , also remained strategically important; at the east end was the fortress of Ambras , which has been a splendid palace of the Tyrolean sovereigns since the Renaissance, at the west spur behind the Viller Bach over the Sill the fortress of Straßfried , which was given up at the same time and is no longer recognizable today.
The Paschberg offers opportunities for many leisure activities such as jogging or mountain biking , there is a forest mile, a golf course and several small climbing gardens . Popular excursion destinations are the Lanser See , the Lanser Moor , the war cemetery Tummelplatz and the Mühlsee .
The Paschberg is opened up for public transport by tram line 6 (Mittelgebirgsbahn) . In the middle of the Paschberg forest by a silted lake, the Tantegert siding of the low mountain range railway is located , which also has a station keeper's house that is still inhabited today. The name is derived from Tann-t-Egart (Wiese im Tann).
At the Lanser Kopf there are remains of a flak position from the Second World War.
