The Windlucken (as in the Upper German singular as in the plural) is a saddle in the main ridge of the Rottenmanner and Wölzer Tauern in Styria . It comprises two saddles, the lower Kleine Windlucken ( 1824 m above sea level ) and the Large Windlucken ( 1857 m above sea level ).
Location and landscape
The wind gap is between Oppenberg in Gullingtal near Liezen and Sankt Oswald-Möderbrugg in Pölstal near Knittelfeld.
It is a wide saddle around the 1½ kilometer ridge length in the little profiled main ridge of the eastern Niedere Tauern . To the southwest lies the stock of the Breiteckkoppe ( 2144 m above sea level ) and then that of the Hohenwarts ( 2363 m above sea level ). To the east rises the Seitnerzinken ( 2164 m above sea level ), which belongs to the ridge of the Hochschwung ( 2196 m above sea level ).
To the north below - parallel to the ridge eastwards - runs the Schwarze Gullingbach , the source stream of the Gulling, which joins the Enns at Aigen in the Ennstal . To the south the Bretsteinbach runs eastwards to the Pöls , which then flows into the Mur in the Aichfeld . This makes the saddle part of the main Alpine ridge .
The pass landscape itself comprises two saddles: the Kleine Windlucken, and a little to the southwest the more passable, only 30 meters higher, Großer Windlucken.
The Windlucken forms the lowest notch of the Niedere Tauern between the two road crossings Sölkpass and Triebener Tauern-Pass near Hohentauern. It is therefore seen as one of the possible delimitations between the Wölzer Tauern (west) and the Rottenmanner Tauern (east), because of the many other views, the two are usually listed together (also as the respective generic term of the other). In addition, the mountain names Pusterwalder Berge south, Donnersbacher Tauern (for the Wölzer Tauern in the broader sense ) and Sölker Tauern / Alpen for the mountains to the west can be found here in the area . The mountain range breakdown Trimmel here separates the group of high stone (2635) Western, High Trett - bulk Kogel (2636) north and Pusterwald (2633) south (all part of the Wölzer Tauern). The international standardized orographic division of the Alps (SOIUSA / IVOEA) separates the chain of the Heinzl-Wasserkogel (A.2.c of the Wölzer Tauern, eastwards from the Breitkoppe) from the Bruderkogel - Hochschwung chain (B.3.a of the Rottenmanner Tauern).
Tours
Directly south below the pass is the Schabergerhütte in the Bretsteingraben , a little further away the Gamperhütte , two managed alpine huts. To the north in the Schwarzgulling lies the Moar im Bichl farm . The climbs are easy on both sides. Summit trips include the surrounding mountains.
The pass is crossed more often on the Höhenweg: the Zentralalpenweg (Austrian long-distance hiking trail 02) runs along the ridge, also called the Tauern Höhenweg (Seckau to Krimml or Ahrntal).
