    Tips

    December 26, 2020

    November 19, 2020 - The idea of the Kapfenberg Tourist Association, also the main bearer of costs, is almost three years old to create a gate at the bottom of the Gruber-Rührer family and with the most beautiful view of the city of Kapfenberg. Numerous drafts and discussions were necessary. Now the result is impressive: the arch is five meters high with a clearance of 3.6 meters; the globe has a diameter of 1.8 meters and the total weight is 800 kilograms. The stainless steel material fits like the name of the gate to the industrial city of Kapfenberg, as there are 15 world market leaders.

    Regional builder
    The artistic design based on a design by the company "buerozwo" Kapfenberg was entrusted to an artist from St. Lorenzen. Dismas "Dissi" Sachan produced the oversized and supra-regional gate with his team from Metallbau Sachan. Although the bull at the Red-Bull Ring is one of his best-known and greatest works, he is particularly pleased that a landmark and photo point has now also been created in his home country.

    For five years you have been hiking through the three communities of Turnau, St. Lorenzen and Kapfenberg. A big thank you was given to the Gruber family, who not far from the gate run the highest mountain farm in town (1,130 meters), which is also one of the Bründlweg farmers.

      This gateway to the world market leaders is another attraction on the Romantic Bründlweg. The globe sparkles in the sun and you have a fantastic view from this place in good weather.
