The Flatzer wall is a rock cut off the Auf der Kehr mountain ( 790 m above sea level ). It is located near Flatz (Ternitz municipality) in Lower Austria , in the Sierningtal-Flatzer Wall nature park in the Gutenstein Alps .
To the subject
Flatzer Wand is also used as a name for the whole mountain, the summit of which is the wooded Auf der Kehr , and occasionally for the entire massif, the highest peak of which is the 898 m high Gösing .
Location and landscape
On the bend is a flat forest plateau that hardly offers a view. On its southern slope, directly at the village of Flatz , a strongly jagged wall, the Flatzer Wall , extends for about one kilometer , with free wall heights of up to about 100 meters. Overall, the Flatzer wall is similar to the well-known Hohe Wand .
colonization
The Flatzer Wand is an old settlement area. In Langen hole human bones and artifacts were found that at least temporarily can take one since the late Stone Age settlement. In the late Bronze Age (around 1000 BC) there was a small mining settlement along the southern slope below the Flatzer Wand . Several houses stood on artificial settlement terraces, the remains of which were found during the expansion of the forest road network at the end of the 20th century. Copper ore was smelted on the opposite slope of the Gösing .
Paths and huts
On the western edge of the wall is the Neunkirchner Naturfreundehaus , which is only managed on weekends, but all year round. The foot of the wall as well as the edge of the wall are well developed with paths, with numerous approaches to the climbing routes. The Willi Gottwaldsteig leads away from the forest roads, but without climbing sections, up to the refuge.
Climbing area
The Flatzer Wand is a well-developed climbing area with a dozen via ferratas in difficulty 0 – D (the most difficult route is route E60 with C / D) and over 100 climbing tours up to difficulty level IX . The most famous insured trails are (from west to east):
- E60 (C / D)
- Ternitzersteig (A)
- Flatzerlochsteig (A / B)
- Fürststeig (A)
- Jubilee Trail (A / B)
One of the "most beautiful 'very easy' climbing routes in the foothills of the Alps" also leads to the Flatzer Wand: the historic double path with difficulty level II.
caves
The Flatzer wall is rich in caves.
- The best known is the Flatzer stalactite cave ( long hole , cadastral number 1861/9) with a side entrance to the Dachslucke (1861/2), which was opened up as a show cave in 1904–1906 , with artifacts and fossil finds
- The second largest cave on the Flatzer Wand is the Rötellucke ( Rötellucke , 1861/13) with a total length of 81 m (end of the research hall ), with traces of excavation in the entrance area (pot shards, animal bones).
- Brick gap ( Flatzer Loch , 1861/5, length 12 m), in the western part of the Flatzer Wall, accessible via Ternitzer Steig - here the Flatzer population sought refuge from the Turks in vain in 1683
- Sliding arches (1861/14) in the western part: cave ruins, consisting of two through caves ( natural bridges ), the Fürststeig leads through the larger one, and the Ternitzer Steig that begins here leads through the other.
- Also of interest is the Schwarze Lucke ( Jungfrauenhöhle, Marienhöhle , 1861/16), about 100 m west of the Lange Loch, a rock niche, as a cave cult site with contemporary religious devotional objects (pictures of Mary).
- Bergmilch gap (1861/32, total length 33 m): a gap joint cavity with Kolk - and calcite formations , as well as an off-white Bergmilch
- Rohrauerhöhle ( wall climbing hole, 1861/24, length 48 m): silt section , labyrinthine and dangerous
- New cave (1861/11, 26 m, barred after the first hall)
