The Scheiblingpalfen is 1304  m above sea level. A. high mountain in the uppermost Styrian Ennstal on the border with Salzburg .

Location and landscape

The mountain is located near Gleiming , on the right in the Ennstal at the confluence of the forest creek . The Styrian-Salzburg border passes the summit half a kilometer to the west. It belongs to the massif of the Eibenberg (Eibenbergkopf  1405  m above sea level ), which extends between the Enns in the north and the lower Forstau over about 7 kilometers, and forms the easternmost spur therein .

The craggy rock towers of the Scheiblingpalfen also form the east end of the Mandling Pass , the Enns valley, which forms the Salzburg-Styria border. The Blaiken (open rock surfaces) form typical spooky turrets. This is also what his name refers to, Palfen is a local Bavarian word for 'rock', disc means 'grassy area in the forest or rock'.

geology

Located south of the Enns, the mountain is considered the foothills of the Schladminger Tauern , but geologically the Eibenberg is still part of the Mandling range of the Salzburg Slate Alps . The Grauwackenzone (slate Alps) , which in Tyrol and Salzburg form mountains between the Limestone Alps and the Central Alps , reduces to the east again to a very narrow zone in the Enns long valley furrow , which only extends east of Schladming at the foot of the Schladminger and Wölzer Tauern in the Eisenerzer Alps expands. Between the slates of the Grauwackenzone and the central gneiss, however, there are again limestone alpine remnants here in the Ennspongau , which belong to the context of the SEMP disruption . The southern border of this zone is the Flachau-Feuersang - Forstau line . These rocks change the valley side here and then form the foothills of the Ramsau am Dachstein . They are characteristically fragmented south of the Mandling range.

The Scheiblingpalfen itself is formed from Ramsaudolomit ( Ladin - Karn , approx. 235 million years), which gives it its rugged shape. This "upper" dolomite of the Mandling range (Mandlinger dolomite scales ) was also called Tisoveckalk or Heller mass dolomite . A few tens of meters thick, darker-looking band lies in the light dolomite walls . This is Carditaoolith , a dark, oolithic dolomite ( Jul , Mittelkarn), which is characteristic of the eastern Mandling area and here probably represents the Raibler strata . At the foot of the lowest forest creek there is also gray slate , a phyllite which is also peculiar to this area and which again belongs to the Grauwackenzone (undated).

The unstable southern foot was secured with barriers in the forest creek in the 1970s .
