Violas
Violas are weathered forms that arise almost exclusively on the limestone mica slates of the Upper Slate Shell in the Hohe Tauern as a result of frost and aeolian expansion . The limestone mica schist, which is blue-gray in the fresh break , weathered yellow to brown and flakes on the surface even to the violas. These form up to 40 ° steep, rocky and hardly overgrown mountain slopes with a peculiar, rough surface caused by wind erosion. Violas can be found e.g. B. on the Fuscherkarkopf , the Bärenköpf , on the Kitzsteinhorn , on the Schwerteck or on the - afterwards called - viola heads .
