The Steyrtal in southern Upper Austria is named after the Steyr River. The valley in the lower reaches of the river is called the Stodertal .

Location and geology

View from the Kleiner Landsberg to the Flysch hills in the northern Steyrtal

The southern part of the Steyr valley lies in the Northern Limestone Alps , the northern part in the flysch zone . After Gaisberg and Schoberstein , which still belong to the limestone Alps and show rugged rock forms, the flysch zone is connected to the north by hill chains. The geological boundary runs through the moat of the Schmiedleithnerbach at the foot of the Großer Landsberg and from the Steyr river under the gravel of the Obergrünburger high terrace . The valley was formed by glaciers during the ice ages. The greatest expansion happened towards the end of the Riss glaciation with glacier tongues up to the level of Ober Grünburg and Steinbach .

The valley of the Steyr in the lower reaches is the Stodertal. The Steyrtal reaches its greatest width in the Mollner basin.

traffic

The Steyrtal Strasse and the Steyrtal Cycle Path run through the valley . The Steyrtal Straße follows a valley crossing into the Kremstal , where it joins the Pyhrnpass Straße . The Steyrtalbahn coming from Steyr , which formerly ran to Klaus station and thus through the entire valley, has been ending as a museum railway at Grünburg station in the municipality of Waldneukirchen since 1985 .

nature

In the south are the Steyr breakthrough and the nature reserve Planwiesen. The Steyrschlucht nature reserve stretches from Agonitz ( Oberleonstein ) to the Haunoldmühle (Obergrünburg).
