Last chance for the Louisenhöhe: toboggan run threatens to demolish!

Haag am Hausruck, Österreich - The future of the famous mountain and summer toboggan run Luisenhöhe in Haag am Hausruck is on the brink. Krone reports that a new operator must be found by April 4, 2025, otherwise there is a risk of demolition of the entire facility, which was once a popular attraction for tourists. The railway has been quiet since January 2020 after the Erlebnisberg Luisenhöhe GmbH slid into bankruptcy with a minus of around 260,000 euros. The market town of Haag am Hausruck also bought the facility in the hope of saving it, but the challenges in the cable car and the continuing pandemic make a significant more difficult.

The situation is becoming increasingly critical. Mayor Konrad Binder emphasizes that it is crucial to find a manager who is trained in cable car right to run the train again. The strict safety regulations, which prescribe a closed car operation regardless of the height of the railway, have complicated the situation. The financial scope of decommissioning is also enormous, since the railway worth three million euros should be demolished, which is regarded as a loss for the region, as well as District reported.

The desperate search for an operator

The municipality has now agreed to a last desperate attempt to find interested parties who are willing to take responsibility and to meet the required safety requirements. Potential operators have to apply until April 4th. Otherwise, the long -term vision for the location, including simple supposed solutions such as the restoration of a chairlift, could not be realized. The cable car right is opposed and would cause similar problems here, since training is essential for operators that take place in Tyrol.

In another turn, a new tenant was found for the Waldschenke on the adventure mountain, which is a positive development for hikers who can strengthen themselves at the location. However, the future of the summer toboggan run remains uncertain. Mayor Binder has one goal: "We would like to show clear perspectives by May 23" and inform the citizens about possible solutions in an information event. Time is urged, because without an immediate action, the historical part of the community history could soon be a thing of the past.
