Traboch

The most important body of water in Traboch is the Liesing , which, coming from the west, flows in an arc to the south in the area of the municipality and leaves the place again after about 5.1 km. Another river is the 4.6 km long Veitscherbach, which rises in the former municipality of Gai , now from Trofaiach in the Veitscherwald and first flows through the artificially dammed Trabocher lake in the north of the Trabocher municipality. After entering the Liesingtal, the Veitscherbach flows into the Liesing between Stadlhof and Madstein.

traffic

The railway stop in Traboch was no longer served by the Austrian Federal Railways from December 2006 and was finally closed with the 2008/2009 timetable change. Since then, the place can only be reached publicly by post bus . The nearest train station is around 4 kilometers from Traboch in the St. Michael railway junction , where, in addition to regional trains, InterCity and EuroCity trains on the lines from Graz to Linz , Salzburg and Innsbruck stop. Another larger train station is Leoben Central Station , around 13 km away , where trains on the Vienna - Klagenfurt line can also be reached.

The community is on the Schoberpass Straße B 113. The starting point of the Eisenstraße (B115) leading to Steyr in Upper Austria is also in the community . In addition, the place has a connection point to the Pyhrn Autobahn A 9.

Culture and buildings

sport and freetime

Trabocher See to the south

Swim:

As a local recreation area - also for the surrounding communities and the district capital Leoben - the Trabocher See , an artificially created swimming lake in the 1960s, is not far from the village .

Aviation:

In the district of Timmersdorf there is an airfield (LOGT), which is particularly well-known among experts and operated by the Alpine-Sportflieger-Club Leoben, with ideal conditions for gliding. The airfield is one of the few Austrian airfields from which flights of over 1000 km and other record flights have already been successfully started.

The special geographical conditions, such as wide valleys with good outland possibilities and individual free-standing mountains, make it easy for even inexperienced pilots to get used to flying in the mountains. Another special feature is that waves can be flown in Timmersdorf at almost all times of the year: Immediately after cold fronts have passed through from the northwest, waves often form on the surrounding mountains even at low wind speeds, and sometimes even in the middle of summer can bring a gain in altitude of at least 5000 m.
