The black wall is 1,071 m one of the highest mountains in Freiwald , the Austrian part of the Novohradské mountain region (Novohradské).
Location and landscape
The Black Wall lies in its wooded main ridge in the Mühlviertel , in northeastern Upper Austria . It rises about 200 m from the border with the Czech Republic , not far from the border triangle between Bohemia , Lower and Upper Austria.
The mountain forms a double peak with Kamenec, 1 km away ( 1072 m above sea level ), which is about 500 m on the Czech side of the border. Two other minor peaks of the massif are southwest of the Taufelberg ( 1042 m above sea level ) and south of the Haubenberg ( 1036 m above sea level ).
The ridge runs very winding here and has several peaks around 1000 meters. To the east, it follows roughly the border to Sepplberg (1004 m, three-country corner) and Tischberg (1063 m). Both are wall morphologically separated from the only 3-4 km away blacks by two running north parallel valleys during Pohořský Potok northward to Maltsch (Malše) drained the Springing the table mountain flows Lainsitz semicircle around it and then turns to the northeast. To the south, part of the main ridge drains to the Waldaist . To the west lies the valley of the uppermost Maltsch with the places Hacklbrunn and Unter Hüttenhof , and in the southwest the pass landscape of the municipality of Sandl .
The watershed between the Elbe (Maltsch, Lainsitz) and the Danube (Waldaist), the European main watershed , runs over the ridge line Sandl - Kamenec - Sepplberg , while northwards over the Black Wall the western ridge of the Gratzener Bergland gradually extends into the Gratzen foothills along the upper Maltsch flattened. The Black Wall is the most north-westerly one-thousand-meter peak in the mountain group. In the east the Střední vrch ( 955 m nm ) rises, to the north some peaks around the Kolařuv vrch ( 982 m nm ).
The Austrian-Czech border runs in a straight line on the eastern slope. The summit has a measurement point of the Austrian triangulation.
history
The areas were east to the Czech judicial district Gratzen which, although largely German-speaking, after the fall of the Habsburg monarchy to Czechoslovakia came.
Between around 1950 and 1989, the state border was in the restricted area of the Iron Curtain and it was not allowed to enter.
