The Rohrer Sattel is a pass in the Lower Austrian Pre-Alps that leads from the Zellbach into the Piestingtal . It has a height of 864 m above sea level. A. and connects Rohr im Gebirge with Gutenstein . The Gutensteiner Straße (B21) runs over it with a maximum gradient of 8%. The Rohrer Sattel is the lowest crossing between the Haberkogel 1041 m above sea level. A. in the north and the Hochkogel 974 m above sea level. A. in the southwest of the saddle.

The road over the Rohrer Sattel was only laid out in the 1960s after traffic had previously passed over the Haselrast Pass , which is about 100 meters lower .

On both sides of the river flow creeks that bear the name cell stream . The east-facing Gutensteiner cell stream flows into the Piesting . The west side Rohrer cell stream is a tributary of the Schwarza . The stream from the pass to this cell stream is officially called Mausgraben , but the cell stream as coming from the Rohrer Sattel will have been the original concept - the sources of the Schwarza itself were historically seen here. The fact that the valleys or creeks have the same name on both sides of the pass is more common in the Alps.

Remarks

↑ According to the Austrian land register, it rises on the Rohrer Sattel; NÖGIS gives the northern branch in the Griessal / Reischergraben.
↑ So just north of the Piestingtaler Myrabach (Mirabach) and the Miragraben on the upper reaches of the Rainbach on both sides Maria Einsiedl am Unterberg; known the Wipptal on both sides of the Brenner or the Tauernbach brooks on both sides of the Hohe Tauern as well as the Felbertauern . Speaks for old age.
Correspondingly, the Rohrersattel would historically have been called the “cell” saddle. It is unclear whether this refers to an old cell ( cella , hermitage) on the top of the pass, or one in the upper Schwarzatal (in Schwarzau or Rohr), or perhaps even to Mariazell. The upper Schwarzatal belonged to the Gutenstein rule from the 12th century and was celebrated from here, and the pilgrimage to Mariazell also dates back to the Middle Ages.
