The saddle between Haselstein and Schwaigerkogel (Schweiger Kogel) is a small pass in the foothills of the Alps between St. Aegyd am Neuwalde and Schwarzau in the mountains in Lower Austria .
location
The pass lies between Seebach , a small tributary of the Unrechttraisen at St. Aegyd- Croats Dörfl and Trauch , a remote village of Schwarzau. To the northeast is the Haselstein ( 1092 m above sea level ), south of the Schwaigerkogel ( 943 m above sea level ), a small ridge of the Geißrücken.
West is the Seebach to Unrechttraisen ( Traisen area ), east of the Vaser for Trauchbach and Schwarza ( Leitha area ). This makes the saddle part of the main Alpine ridge . As a municipality boundary, it also forms the district boundary between Lilienfeld and Neunkirchen , i.e. the landscape boundary between the Mostviertel and the industrial district .
History and meaning
The name (after Trimmel ) is an auxiliary name, a name for the saddle has not been passed down.
In regional terms, the pass was historically significant as the transition from the upper Traisental to the upper Schwarzatal, at the end of the 19th century the transport route ran from below St. Aegyd via Hintereck - Trauch to the Schwarzau area , the only mobile route in the area (the Tiefental was At that time still impassable, there was only the Kalte Kuchl to the north in the Gölsen, with a path via Naglreith to the Unrechttraisen). The path must have been used for the Mariazell pilgrimage ( coming from Rohr ) since ancient times . Today the pass is irrelevant, the old road is a forest path and is marked as a hiking trail. Today the L4056 at Ochsattel goes over the Tiefental to the B21 , which goes over the Rohrer area and the Kalte Kuchl.
However, the saddle is geographically important to this day as the border between the Gutenstein Alps and the Mürzsteg Alps in the system of the Alpine Club division of the Eastern Alps (AVE) and the Lower Austrian Limestone Alps in the mountain group structure according to Trimmel , i.e. as the boundary between the High Limestone Alps and the Limestone Pre-Alps . The reason for this group structure is of a tectonic nature, Hegerberg and the Unterberg – Jochart ridge to the northeast belong to the Unterberg Nappe , Göller-Gippel-Zug with Obersberg and the Schneeberg south of the Göller Nappe . Both are partial ceilings of the Ötscher ceiling , the second having pushed over the first.
