Wertholzsubmission Heiligenkreuz is a periodic sale of valuable logs in Lower Austria organised through the regional forest association and chamber of agriculture. It is a physical timber market where individual pieces of raw material are assessed. Potential customers include businesses seeking characteristics suited to higher-value products. Species include oak, ash, maple and walnut. Heiligenkreuz is a separate event from St. Florian in Upper Austria, although industry reports frequently compare the two and can therefore be misread if the location is omitted.
A Waldgeschichten feature interviewing organiser representatives describes the 2026 offering as 1,584 logs with a volume of 1,337 solid cubic metres, or Festmeter. A secondary results article gives 1,338 fm. This directory preserves the interview figure and explicitly records the small discrepancy instead of silently reconciling it. The indicators describe one edition of the event, not annual trading across Lower Austrian forests. Festmeter should also not be converted into stacked cubic metres without additional assumptions about the material and stacking method.
Buyers should obtain the catalogue, bidding instructions and access arrangements for inspecting logs on the yard. Assessing a numbered lot requires species, dimensions, curvature, knots, discolouration and other features relevant to its intended use. A sawmill and a veneer producer may value the same log differently. Confirm measurement methods, the price basis and collection responsibilities. Before offering a figure, calculate freight, loading and likely processing yield rather than treating the price per solid cubic metre as the entire acquisition cost.
A woodland owner considering this channel should contact the organiser early about species and quality eligibility. Published specifications explain the selection of material; not every hardwood log is suitable for a valuable-timber sale. Delivery timing, identification, end preparation and organisational charges need to be agreed. Establish procedures for unsold lots and settlement of accepted results. Forestry advice may assist in preparing a consignment, but does not remove the need for an individual assessment of whether the anticipated return justifies harvesting, handling and delivery costs.
The public price link leads to a comparison of Heiligenkreuz and St. Florian results. Extract figures by location and species: an oak average is not an auction-wide average, and an Upper Austrian result does not describe Lower Austria. These are outcomes from a completed event rather than continuous offers. Exact yard access, inspection hours and collection deadlines should come from the relevant sale catalogue. A general town or abbey address is not sufficient as a timber-truck delivery instruction.
