Triestingtal
The Triestingtal is a valley in Lower Austria through which the river Triesting flows . It is located in the districts of Lilienfeld and Baden . In the division of the old four quarters of Lower Austria, a western part of the valley is still in the Mostviertel , the larger part in the east in the industrial quarter .
geography
The approx. 600 m high judicial mountain forms the beginning of the Triesting valley in the west. From there it runs about 29 km eastwards and ends at Hirtenberg , where the Vienna Basin and the thermal baths line begin. The Triesting itself begins around Kaumberg , flows through the entire Triestingtal to Hirtenberg, where it leaves the Prealps or the Vienna Woods and flows through the Vienna Basin to Achau and there flows into the Schwechat .
The valley forms the southern border of the Vienna Woods . To the west of the Triestingtal, the Gölsental connects to the Richtberg . A mountain worth mentioning is the Araberg ( 800 m ).
The Triestingtal includes the political communities of Kaumberg , Altenmarkt , Weissenbach , Pottenstein , Hernstein (remote in the mountains), Berndorf , Furth (located in a side valley), Hirtenberg and Enzesfeld-Lindabrunn . With the exception of Kaumberg, these places formed the former judicial district Pottenstein, but also the area of the Evangelical parish of Berndorf.
history
As early as the Middle Ages , the region's hydropower was primarily used by mills and forges.
With the construction of the Leobersdorfer Bahn around 1877 and in the fin de siècle , the valley received a strong industrialization boost , with the names Krupp in Berndorf , Wilhelm Prym , Adolph Freiherr von Pittel and Starlinger in Weissenbach , Simon von Wimpffen in Neuhaus and that of Serafin Keller founded the Hirtenberger cartridge factory (from which Kromag later resulted) in Hirtenberg . The train also brought summer guests who knew how to discover the scenic beauties of the Triesting Valley: tourism and industry shaped the Triesting Valley from the last third of the 19th century, and artists such as the librettist Camillo Walzel , the architects Ludwig Baumann and Joseph Urban and the painters Franz Lefler and Heinrich Lefler enjoyed spending their time in the Triestingtal.
Many companies came and went - they also shaped the history of the communities of Kaumberg , Altenmarkt , Furth , Weissenbach an der Triesting , Pottenstein , Enzesfeld-Lindabrunn , Leobersdorf and Schönau - but only a few made the leap into the service society .
Leisure and Tourism

The Araburg castle ruins , located on the Araberg near Kaumberg, are very important for the region . At 800 meters above sea level, it is the highest castle ruin in Lower Austria and a popular destination for locals and leisure tourists.
There are numerous museums and the Berndorf City Theater with the Berndorfer Theatersommer .
The 34.7 km long Triestingtal cycle path leads along the Triesting from Leobersdorf to the Richtberg ( Kaumberg ) , and there are also several mountain bike routes.
Economy and Infrastructure
Industry
Land Drink Krenn KG , the largest cider manufacturer in Austria, is located in Furth im Triestingtal .
traffic
The B18 runs through the entire Triestingtal . It begins in Traisen , runs through the Gölsen and Triestingtal valleys, crosses the A2 at Leobersdorf and ends in Günselsdorf , where it joins the B17 .
The ÖBB still operate a section of the old Leobersdorfer Bahn between Weissenbach an der Triesting and Leobersdorf (known as Triestingtalbahn ) in the Triestingtal , but with the closure of the Leobersdorfer Bahn section Hainfeld - Weißenbach-Neuhaus in 2004, most of the Triestingtal is today without any rail connection, reliant solely on road traffic .
Regional currency
In addition to the Triesting, the Triestingtal also connects the regional currency Triestingtaler . A Triestingtaler is worth 10 euros; 30,000 pieces are currently in circulation.
