The Schober is a mountain in the Salzkammergut Mountains in the Salzkammergut , on the border between Upper Austria and Salzburg .
Description and geology
The Schober belongs to the Schafberg group of the Salzkammergut mountains.
With its 1328 m above sea level. A. the Schober is the highest elevation on the edge of the terrain, the logical continuation of which over the Schatzwand ( 1264 m above sea level ) is the imposing Drachenwand ( 1176 m above sea level ) above the Mondsee . She is one of hundreds in the area Salzkammergut-meter-high demolition front of the overthrust ceiling of Dachsteinkalks against the low foothills of the flysch zone ( Kolomansberg ) to Alpine foothills . To the west, the foot of the Drachenwand-Schober-Kante runs into the Thalgauegg corridor between Thalgau and Fuschlsee , which, broken by the Fuschler Ache, ends in the Heuberg near Salzburg. In front of the demolition there is a wooded debris foot with mighty block heaps on the north side .
The south-facing slopes are wooded and fall in the middle against Fuschlsee and Eibenseebach from the Eibensee .
In front of the Schobergipfel to the south, the secondary summit Frauenkopf ( 1304 m above sea level ) rises above Fuschl am See .
Routes, huts
On the summit of the Schober there is an emergency shelter of the PES , the Schoberhütte .
- The normal route runs from the car park ( 924 m above sea level ), past the Wartenfels ruins, through rocky terrain towards the summit. Since the route under the summit leads over step brackets and along a wire rope through exposed terrain, a certain degree of surefootedness and a head for heights is required.
- The second route also starts at the parking lot, but branches off to the right after about 5 minutes. Most of the time, the path runs through light forest, a few meters below the Frauenkopf to the summit. This route is longer, but requires fewer hiking skills and is therefore more suitable for inexperienced people.
