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 summit radar is one of Austro Control's three civil air-traffic stations, with a range of about 300 kilometres. A military airspace radar stands on the Kolomansberg, some 70 km to the southwest, and reaches farther. The hill lies mostly in Kopfing im Innkreis, its northern part in St. Roman.
The summit lies on the municipal boundary between Kopfing im Innkreis and St. Roman, roughly 5 km southwest of the Danube between Engelhartszell and Kopfing. The Feichtbach stream rises on the eastern slope. The hill is wooded and its relative height is about 100–170 m, so the radar station on top is not a public viewpoint.
The summit radar is one of Austrocontrol's three stations, with a range of about 300 kilometres. About 70 km to the southwest, the military Goldhaube airspace radar stands on the 1,114 m Kolomansberg and reaches further. The Feichtbach rises on the eastern slope of the hill.
