Tressenstein lookout point
- Old control room
Since Empress Sissi was already enthusiastic about the panoramic view of the Ausseerland from Tressenstein, the idea was born in 1901 to build a 24-meter-high observation tower on Tressenstein . As preparatory work for the construction of the control room, the Ausseer Alpenverein had the paths from Altaussee and Bad Aussee to the Tressensattel extended and improved. Between Altaussee and the saddle, the path in the saddle wall had to be expanded by blasting. The narrow, difficult path from the saddle to the top of the Tressenstein also had to be widened. The Tressensteinwarte was opened on June 30, 1907.
In the following years the Tressenstein became a popular excursion destination. The theft of the copper lightning rod lead to a severe lightning strike, several malicious damage to property would have required expensive repairs, which the Alpine Club could not afford and so the control room had to be sold. After 1939, the observation tower fell into disrepair very quickly. In November 1950, the new owner of the Tressensteinwarte, Arthur Strohschneider, was ordered to demolish the dilapidated control room. In 1952 the control room was blown up and then a new, 16 meter high control room was immediately rebuilt in the old wooden construction, which was opened in 1953. From 1957 the control room was looked after by the youth group of the Alpine Club, followed by a private tenant who also ran a snack station in the control room. The Austrian Broadcasting Corporation finally had the Tressensteinwarte demolished and built a broadcasting station at the same place, which was opened in 1968.
- New control room
In 2013 the construction of a lookout tower started again. With a floor plan of 6.7 × 6.10 meters, a 14 m high roofed wooden structure made of larch wood was built. 106 years after the opening of the first Tressensteinwarte, the new observation tower was officially opened on October 19, 2013. In addition, a viewing platform was built a little south of the Tressenstein summit , from which one has a view of Bad Aussee.
Former chairlift
On December 18, 1947, the Berglift Ges. Stüber & Co. started construction work for a chairlift from the Aschau - near the Waldruhe inn on the Traun between Bad Aussee and Grundlsee - to the Tressensattel. On June 19, 1948, the 1,490 m long lift with 42 armchairs was put into operation. The journey took about 15 minutes.
Despite good visits, disputes between the operators led to the temporary closure of the company. On June 22, 1951, the lifts were auctioned and taken over by Ausseer Berglift GmbH, in which the State of Styria held 41% and the market town of Bad Aussee 18%. The remaining 41% of the shares were privately owned.
Due to the decreasing number of visitors, the lift operation proved to be unprofitable from 1953. In June 1957 it was finally decided to sell the lift to a scrap iron dealer and the chair lift was dismantled.
