Dobratsch Transmitter Tower

Dobratsch Transmitter Tower, Communication tower in Bad Bleiberg, Austria.

The Dobratsch Transmitter Tower is a hybrid tower on the Dobratsch mountain at 2,115 m above sea level. It consists of a 53-metre reinforced concrete tower with operating rooms and platforms for directional radio antennas, topped by a 112-metre steel tube mast guyed at three points, fitted with GRP antenna cylinders for radio and television. Its total height is 165 metres.

Construction of the transmitter ran from 1969 to 1971, and it went into service on 15 October 1971, succeeding a provisional facility on the lower Pyramidenkogel near Klagenfurt. A private cable car from Bad Bleiberg, built by the Villach firm De Pretis in 1969, has served the site year-round ever since.

The tower represents the advancement of Austrian broadcasting technology, enabling radio and television transmission throughout the Carinthia region and neighboring areas.

The site sits at an elevation of about 2,115 meters and is not easily accessible to the public. Maintenance is handled by a private cable car system that connects the facility with Bad Bleiberg.

The tower's ORS-internal name is KLAGENFURT1, a reference to the provisional facility on Pyramidenkogel it replaced in 1971. Its 125,000-watt ERP makes it Austria's strongest transmitter, reaching Carinthia, Styria, Italy's Canal Valley and Slovenia's Gorenjska region.
