Wechsel
The Wechsel is a low mountain range in eastern Austria whose highest summit is the Hochwechsel (). It also has two other summits over 1700 m. The massif forms the border between the states of Lower Austria and Styria for about 15 km, southeast of the Semmering and northeast of the Graz Basin, between the Feistritz Saddle and the eponymous pass of Wechsel. Geography The Wechsel is part of the Prealps East of the Mur. It is – apart from the Vienna Woods which are half the height – the easternmost range in the Alps. Its highest point, at , is the ''Hochwechsel'', formerly called the ''Hoher Umschuss'', at the top of which is the Wetterkoglerhaus, an Alpine Club hut belonging to the Austrian Alpine Club. From there the crest of the mountains runs northwest to the ''Umschußriegel'' (,) continuing to the ''Schöberlriegel'' (), and east to the ''Niederwechsel'' (). The Wechsel is the boundary between the Styrian '' Joglland'' and the ''Bucklige Welt'', which stretc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
East Styrian Hills
The East Styrian Hill Country or East Styrian Hills (german: Oststeirisches Hügelland or ''Oststeirisches Riedelland''), is a rolling, hill country region, known as '' Hügelland'', in the southeast of the Austrian state of Styria. Geography The East Styrian Hill Country is part of the ''Alpine Foreland in the East and Southeast'' and extend over large parts of East Styria and Southeast Styria. They are characterised by elongated hill ridges or interfluves (''Riedel''). They are bounded in the west and south by the River Mur and in the north by the Prealps East of the Mur, especially the eastern Graz Uplands, the prominent Kulm massif and the Joglland with its peak, the Masenberg. To the east it is bounded by the Lafnitz river. The East Styrian Hills cover an area of about 50 x 80 km, but continue as a landscape type geologically and morphologically: * in the west as the smaller West Styrian Hills (''Weststeirisches Hügelland''), its boundary being formed ...

Peter Rosegger
Peter Rosegger (original ''Roßegger'') (31 July 1843 – 26 June 1918) was an Austrian writer and poet from Krieglach in the province of Styria. He was a son of a mountain farmer and grew up in the woodlands and mountains of Alpl. Rosegger (or Rossegger) went on to become a most prolific poet and author as well as an insightful teacher and visionary. In his later years, he was honoured by officials from various Austrian universities and the city of Graz (the capital of Styria). He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature three times. He was nearly awarded the Nobel Prize in 1913 and is (at least among the people of Styria) something like a national treasure to this day. Early life Rosegger was born as the first of seven children of a peasant couple in the village of Alpl, in the mountains above Krieglach, Styria. The family lived in a simple 18th-century Alpine farmhouse, called ''Kluppeneggerhof''. Living conditions were modest, the central room was used for eating, s ...

Mountain Ranges Of Styria
A mountain is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. Although definitions vary, a mountain may differ from a plateau in having a limited summit area, and is usually higher than a hill, typically rising at least 300 metres (1,000 feet) above the surrounding land. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in mountain ranges. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces, erosion, or volcanism, which act on time scales of up to tens of millions of years. Once mountain building ceases, mountains are slowly leveled through the action of weathering, through slumping and other forms of mass wasting, as well as through erosion by rivers and glaciers. High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level at similar latitude. These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystems of mountains: different elevations have different plants and animals. Because of the less hospitable terrain ...

Regions Of Austria
Austria is a federal republic made up of nine states (German: ''Länder''). Since ''Land'' is also the German word for "country", the term ''Bundesländer'' (literally ''federal states'') is often used instead to avoid ambiguity. The Constitution of Austria uses both terms. Austrian states can pass laws that stay within the limits of the constitution, and each state has representatives in the main Austrian parliament. Geography The majority of the land area in the states of Upper Austria, Lower Austria, Vienna, and Burgenland is situated in the Danube valley and thus consists almost completely of accessible and easily arable terrain. The other five states, in contrast, are located in the Alps and thus are comparatively unsuitable for agriculture. Their terrain is also relatively unfavourable to heavy industry and long-distance trade. Accordingly, the population of what now is the Republic of Austria has been concentrated in the former four states since prehistoric times. Austria ...

Bezirk Hartberg-Fürstenfeld
The German term ''Bezirk'' (plural ''Bezirke'', derived from la, circulus, "circle") translated as "district" can refer to the following types of administrative divisions: * ''Stadtbezirk'', a subdivision of a city in the sense of a borough (e.g. in Berlin, Hamburg or Vienna), often again subdivided into several quarters and neighbourhoods. According to German '' Gemeindeordnung'' codes, the city council resolves upon the implementation by municipal by-law (''Satzung''). In some cities the ''Bezirke'' have limited powers delegated to them by the city's local government, including an assembly resulting from local elections and an own 'mayor' (''Bürgermeister''). In the German states of Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate any municipality is authorized to implement ''Ortsbezirke'' with own advisory councils and local administrators. The state law in North Rhine-Westphalia commits the municipal administration of an independent city to subdivide the urban area into ''Stadtbezirke''. * ...
