Feichtberg, Mountain summit in Kopfing im Innkreis, Austria
Feichtberg is a mountain summit in Kopfing im Innkreis that rises to 777 meters above the landscape. It forms part of the Sauwald range in Upper Austria and features a radar installation with distinctive dome-shaped structures on its peak.
A radar facility was established on the mountain in 1968 by Austria's Civil Aviation Authority. Management transferred to Austro Control in 1994, which operates it for the country's air traffic oversight.
The mountain connects three radar stations across Austria, forming a network with installations at Buschberg and Koralpe for national air traffic control.
Multiple hiking trails circle the mountain with clear markings guiding visitors through forest paths and to viewpoints. The area is most easily accessible during warmer months, and routes offer varying difficulty levels for different abilities.
The large white radar domes on the summit resemble giant golf balls and are visible from considerable distances. These distinctive structures serve as a landmark in the region and define the mountain's appearance.
