History & character
From Moor Meadows to Urban Living Space
Gneis Süd developed after World War II when the Eichethofsiedlung and Birkensiedlung, separated by the Morzgerwald, grew due to the settlement of refugees. Before development, the area was characterized by agriculturally less productive moor meadows, known for their rich biodiversity. Siberian irises and various orchid species once thrived here. The surrounding forest, formerly known as 'Grödiger Eichet,' was dominated by oaks and provided materials for the Almkanal. Today, a walking and cycling path along the Almkanal connects Gneis Süd with Salzburg's old town and the Mönchsberg, giving the district a tranquil, nature-oriented character.

Access · travel time
Where can you get from here, by which mode, to which destination? The map colours every location in the district by real travel time (dark = fast).
Real travel time per inhabited location (250 m grid, clipped to the real district boundary) to destinations in Salzburg. Transit from the schedule router (Day = peak, Late = after 11pm), bike/walk/car over the street network (car computed without traffic, so rush hour takes correspondingly longer).
Climate & environment
On hot summer days, local cooling matters. With ≈53 trees per spot and water nearby: plenty of local cooling on hot days.
Public street and park trees from the City of Salzburg tree register, counted within 300 m of each inhabited spot. More trees mean more shade (climate) and more green (location). Private gardens are not included.
Light & shadow
Check the light anywhere. Type an address or click the map, pick a floor and drag through the day. The buildings cast their real shadows. Pan the map to explore.

Real building heights (OpenStreetMap footprints with heights from the BEV laser scan), sun hours and shadows from sun position and geometry. How much of it reaches you also depends on orientation and windows. Terrain is included, from the official elevation model out to 12 km: a mountain to the south takes the winter sun just as the house opposite does. Where the sun only grazes a ridge, the figure remains an approximation. At the foot of the Mönchsberg and Kapuzinerberg this weighs heavily: in winter both sit at 25 to 28 degrees, higher than the sun ever climbs there (just under 19).
