Passail Basin
The Passailer Basin , also known as the Passailer Kessel , is a mountain basin in Styria , in the Grazer Bergland . Three communities - Fladnitz an der Teichalm in the west, the eponymous Passail in the middle and Sankt Kathrein am Offenegg in the east (all of the Weiz district ) - make up the area that is also part of the Almenland region .
It extends around Passail in the south to the Schöckl , in the east to the Patscha , in the northeast to the Plankogel and in the northwest to the Hochlantsch . The highest mountain is the Hochlantsch with 1720 m before the Osser with 1545 m and the Plankogel with 1530 m.
The main river is the Raab with the Raabklamm and its tributary Weizbach with the Weizklamm , which drain to the south. Between the Raabklamm and Weizklamm lies the elongated Sattelberg , to the west with the Gösser walls of the Gösser mountain , followed by the Lärchsattel , the Wachthaussattel and the Wolfsattel to the Weizklamm. In the north are the Teichalm and the Sommeralm . To the west and north of it, the Mixnitzbach drains through the Bärenschützklamm into the Mur .
The most important traffic access from the Murtal leads from the S 35 over the Rechbergpass ( Rechberg Straße B 64 ).
Parts of the basin belong to the Almenland Nature Park . Geologically, the basin belongs to a series of inner-Alpine depressions on the southeastern edge of the Alps north of the Grazer Bay , with the Gratwein-Gratkorner Basin , Reiner Basin and Semriach Basin , of which it is the largest and eastern.
