History, infrastructure and sights

Forsthaus Oberburgau

Wiesenau is one of the Salzburg possessions on the Mondsee and Attersee lakes, while Burgau is part of the Hüttenstein rulership , which had been disputed with the Mondsee Monastery and then with Austria since the Middle Ages and was only finally clarified with a state treaty in 1689. Postal and parish, however , the place belongs to the Upper Austrian Unterach.

Until the 19th century, the place was hardly accessible from the Salzburg side due to the impassable Kienbergwand, and the whole of Unterach was also very isolated. The main route of transport was by boat , to Hüttenstein only the high path behind the Kienberg (Holzingeralm - Plankenmoos) led. Here by the lake there were only a few farms that lived primarily from fishing ( Grauvitz now gone, Muthlehen, Förster ). The prince- Forsthaus Oberburgau in Wiesenau was built in 1761, it is now a protected monument ( list entry ). Kienbergwand-Strasse with its tunnels was not built until 1896 , and it was not until 2004 that it was brought up to date with a new tunnel.

Today the headquarters of an international drug manufacturer (EVER Neuro Pharma) is located here. Tourism plays a relatively minor role compared to the other lake resorts, but there are little-visited public bathing areas that are an insider tip despite the shade. A hiking trail starts in the village and leads over the Eisenaueralm and the Himmelspfortsteig to the Schafberg.
