The Zinkenkopf , on the Austrian side of the Zinkenkogel , locally Zinken , is a mountain on the German-Austrian border, between the "basin landscape" of the Berchtesgaden basin or the geomorphological unit of the Berchtesgaden basin in Bavaria and the Hallein basin in the province of Salzburg in the easternmost Berchtesgaden Alps .

Location and landscape

The Zinkenkopf is the northern pre-summit of the Roßfeld , a north-grazing side ridge of the Göllmassiv that separates the Salzach and Berchtesgadener Ache .

It is the local mountain of the city of Hallein and the village of Bad Dürrnberg as well as of the Berchtesgadener district Oberau , rises rather inconspicuously in the ridge in the Salzach valley, from the city of Salzburg as the fore-gulp of the Göll, but appears in the massive mountain frame of the Berchtesgaden valley basin as a small, but a distinctive pyramidal tip.

geology

The mountain lies on the edge of a well-researched special geological zone in the Northern Limestone Alps . The peak formed from Oberalmer layers , an argillaceous limestone from the turn Jura / chalk ( Kimmeridge to Tithon / Berrias to 150-145  million years / mya old), the eastern edge of sandy marl from hornblende rich quartz sandstones of the upper Valendis to Under hauterive (around 134 mya) of the Lower Cretaceous, which belongs to the Lower Roßfeld strata . These are pelagic , well-banked and fossil-rich sediments of the Tirolean of the Limestone Alps, which are exposed here in the form of a cover floe in particular to the left and right of the Salzach.
To the north are the much older Triassic Hallstatt and Reichenhall formations (200–230 mya), which produce the Dürrnberg with the Hallein salt mountain.

Development

Ski area and summer toboggan run

The mountain is a small ski area that lies across borders on its northern slope. The family ski area can also be artificially snowed if necessary. Talort is the settlement of Gmerk . Four of Zinkenlifte, with about 1 km long tine double chairlift , the Upper zinc lift on the mountain, and Dürrenberg-bar lift as well as a ski school lift the little lie at the foot of the mountains Austrian hand, rotting lift Bavarian hand. The operating company Zinkenlifte Bad Dürrnberg non-profit Ges.mbH is owned by the municipality of Hallein.

The area has been expanded in recent years, with a snow park in the summit area, the most important investment was the 2.2 km long Keltenblitz summer toboggan run , which has been in operation since August 2000 and is the longest in the province of Salzburg, now also making it usable during the summer season. A small mountain and ski museum has been set up in the mountain station (Zinkenstüberl) .

The area can be reached by public transport from Hallein (line 41 of the Postbus in the Tennengau regional association , from the train station) and from Berchtesgaden ( RVO shuttle bus).
It also forms a network with the Roßfeld lifts (near Berchtesgaden- Obersalzberg ), including the Rossfeldpanoramastraße , which is subject to a toll , but also the Dachstein West ski region (Salzburg Super Ski Card) .

Transmitter

The Hallein-Zinkenkogel transmitter is also located near the summit , which - closing the Gaisberg radio hole - covers the southern Flachgau, the Salzachtennengau and the eastern Berchtesgadener Land.
