Meyringer-Warte Observation Tower on Hocheck

In the years 1973/74, the control room was rebuilt and named after the longtime chairman of the ÖTK section Triestingtal and honorary member Franz Meyringer (1901-1980).

The Hocheck
The Hocheck, located on the border between the Alps and the Vienna Woods, is at 1037m the last 1000 of the pre-Alps. From the observation tower at the summit, there is a comprehensive panoramic view, from the Hochwechsel over Schneeberg, Rax, the Mariazeller mountains, the Dunkelsteiner forest, the Tullnerfeld, and Vienna to the Leithagebirge, on clear days you can see the Neusiedlersee. The valley towns of Altenmarkt, Taßhof, Kaumberg and Furth are the starting point for numerous hikes.

The hut is currently closed!


Tenants wanted

The Schutzhaus am Hocheck currently has no tenant and therefore closed (as of summer 2015). But: the waiting room with a great view is definitely worth a visit!
