Virtual Weißwasser

Station 1 - Virtual Weißwasser, start appPhoto: Nationalpark Kalkalpen
The records of mining history* in Unterlaussa date back to the 12th century. From 1919 to 1964, large quantities of bauxite were mined in the Reichraminger Hintergebirge, around the Blahberg. In addition to mining facilities, such as Europe's longest material cable car at 13.5 km, there were also houses and barracks where miners lived with their families.
Along a length of about 800 meters on the Hintergebirgsradweg, visitors can see on their phone displays the houses and barracks, the cable car station with the associated material cable car, as well as the infrastructural facilities of the former Weißwasser mining settlement realistically on both sides of the path. With a click, information about the respective buildings can be retrieved on the display.
The experience path "Virtual Weißwasser" was initiated by the Knappenhaus Unterlaussa association. With this project, the association expands its museum offerings with a unique attraction of its kind. This tourist offer is especially aimed at visitors of the Kalkalpen National Park, schools, universities and universities of applied sciences, and visitors of the Knappenhaus Unterlaussa mining and local history museum.

We start at the Weißwasser parking lot and hike 150 meters downhill to the Weißwasser - Hischkogelsattel road junction. Turn left here and walk comfortably along the forest road by the Sonnbergbach, downstream. After about 600 meters, the Augmented Reality STATION 3 is on the left side of the road (the experience path also works in the opposite direction). For the "Virtual Weißwasser" experience path, continue along the forest road (Hintergebirgsradweg) towards the Weißwasser bivouac site. The same way leads back to the starting point.
The path runs along a forest road with little incline and is also suitable for families with children. Total distance from the Weißwasser parking lot round trip: 3.5 kilometers / approximately 1 hour walking time.
