Walser Mountain is a place in Salzburg basin in Salzburg , and locality of the municipality of Wals-Siezenheim in District Salzburg . It lies at the foot of and on a slight hill, the Walserberg , which represents the border with Bavaria .

geography

The village is 7½ kilometers west of the city center of Salzburg and about the same distance northeast of Bad Reichenhall , about 1½ kilometers southeast of the municipal capital Wals .

The place in the Gois cadastral community has almost 200 addresses, half of them in the settlement area at the foot and the rest on the ascent to the individual building and homestead Tannerberger .

The Walserberg  ( 483  m above sea level ) extends from Käferheim in the north to Schwarzbach in the south along the right bank of the Saalach , but rises as a low range of hills only 40 meters above the plains of the Salzburg basin (around 440  m near Wals). It forms one of the last branches of the wooded northern foot of the Untersberg , which takes up the entire area between Grödig and Großgmain , and continues in Högl  ( 827  m ) beyond the Saalach near Piding to Teisendorf , thus delimiting the Marzoll- Piding area, a small one Intermediate basin between the Salzburg and Reichenhall basins at the foot of the Hochstaufen .

geology

The entire Untersberg north foot belongs to the Gosau strata of the limestone Alps , limestone and sandstone of the Upper Eocene , 40–33  million years (mya) (Upper Gosau subgroup) , which are exposed here on the east side of the Salzach Glacier (south of the Wartberg to the Großgmainberg near Fürstenbrunn ), overlaid on the west side by the ground moraine of the glacier in the Saalachtal. The northern spur of the Walser mountain (at the hall directing ), however, belongs to a Cenomanian -Randschuppe (turning under / Upper Cretaceous, Albian and Turonian 100-90 mya), the west continues the Saalach. This is followed by rhenodanubian flysch , so that the Walserberg directly marks the northern limit of the Limestone Alps. The east side forms a formation of moderately hard, often greenish-gray, fine-layered sandstone banks, with gray, green-gray, partly black and especially in the southern part also brick-red marl slates , which tend to slide and are probably also part of the Gosau. The fault that marks the limestone alpine border runs Hochkalter -Nordfuß - Hammerau near Ainring and Walserberg (on both sides of the) - Mönchsberg  - Gnigl  - Guggenthal .

The moss meadows north of the small Walserberg and towards the Wartberg are typical remains of the Ice Age.

History and traffic

Austrian-German border at the "Kleine Walserberg" (2007)

The place is the namesake of the two former German and Austrian border crossings and customs offices between Wals and the Bavarian Marzoll :

• the motorway border crossing " Großer Walserberg ", A 1 / A 8 with motorway service stations and petrol stations
• the federal road border crossing " Kleiner Walserberg ", B 1 / B 21 to Bad Reichenhall

The traffic connection over the Walserberg belongs to the German corner , the most important but extraterritorial east-west connection in Austria (motorway: "Großes deutsches Eck", via the Inntal triangle to Kufstein , federal road: "Kleines Deutsches Eck", via Bad Reichenhall and the Steinpass border to Lofer and on to Pinzgau and St. Johann in Tirol ). Since 1971, the Austrian Wiener Straße (B1) has ended at the border on the Kleiner Walserberg . Previously, the further course of the road through German territory and on to Tyrol and Vorarlberg was also known as Wiener Straße .

With the affiliation to the Schengen area , the customs and personal controls have been ceased in principle at both border crossings. Since the refugee crisis in Europe from 2015 , identity controls have been temporarily reintroduced.
