The Gerichtsberg Pass (el. 439 m.) is a low mountain pass in the Austrian Alps in the Bundesland of Lower Austria.
It connects the Traisen River valley and the Gölsen River valley.
It forms the divide between the watershed of the Danube in Vienna and the Traisen. In the winter, it can be an important obstacle to traffic, despite the fact that it is not very high.
It is part of the Via Sacra, the pilgrim road from Vienna to Mariazell. It is used as a shortcut between the west Autobahn to Salzburg and the Vienna beltway heading south. For this reason, it has been closed to trucks, except for local traffic.
