The Schneeberg , sometimes also Reichraminger Schneeberg , is 1244 m above sea level. A. high mountain in the eastern Upper Austrian Pre-Alps in Upper Austria .
Location and landscape
The Schneeberg is located between the Ennstal near Reichraming and the central Steyrtal near Molln , with the culmination on the municipal boundary .
In the east near Dirnbach the valley of the Reichramingbach goes northwards to the Enns near Reichraming . The Aueralmbach runs southwest and the Schneegrabenbach runs parallel to the west , two rear side trenches of the Krummen Steyrling in the Hausbach area .
To the north of the Schneeberg summit lie the saddle of the Kalblsaualm and then the flat secondary summit Tannscharten ( 1211 m above sea level ), from where the Schneeberg ridge arches down between Aueralmbach and Schneegraben. There the ridge of the Sonnkogel ( 1177 m above sea level ) to the Hohen Dirn ( 1134 m above sea level ) starts to the north . To the south, the long ridge stretches between Reichramingbach and Krummer Steyrling, with the Geishanslniedern saddle ( 934 m above sea level ) and the Hollerkogel ( 1092 m above sea level ) as the next summit.
The mountain is usually included in the Reichraminger Hintergebirge , after Trimmel to the Schreindlmauer – Schneeberg – Hohe Dirn group of the Steyrtal Prealps, according to the Upper Austrian spatial division (Nala) to the Enns and Steyrtal Prealps .
The mountain is partly open due to the alpine pasture and wind thrown on the summit corridor, otherwise it is wooded. The summit of the Schneeberg, on which there is no cross, is not accessible by any hiking trail and is impassable.
geology
The massif is a zone of younger limestone in the main mass of the main dolomite ( Upper Triassic ) of the Reichraminger Hintergebirge. They range from Rhätkalk (Plattenkalk, Upper Upper Triassic) on the flanks to the Hierlatz formation in the Schneeberg summit area to the marly and calcareous Allgäu and Chiemgau formation ( Lower Jurassic ) in the Kalblsaualm area. These belong to a fold structure, the Schneebergmulde , the western edge of which is formed by the Schneeberg, and which continues eastward in the Fahrenberg , and then meets the Weyrer arches of the Ennstal. The series, which otherwise belongs to the tectonically deeper Bajuwarikum , lies on top of the Tirolikum without any recognizable disturbance of a ceiling boundary .
