Schrattelofen
The Schrattelofen is a rock tower in the Koralpe , municipality of Deutschlandsberg (until 2014: Bad Gams ). It is located in the Sallegg cadastral community and is named after the Schraten , a kind of forest spirit .
The Schrattelofen has been a natural monument since 1978 .
The name " furnace " comes from the language used in the area and highlights the distinctive, unusual shape of the rock: The Schrattelofen is a free-standing, approximately 9 m long, 5 m wide and 14 m high pile of rock slabs ( "Plattengneis " ). As with other striking rock formations in the Koralpe, its formation is attributed to the varying degrees of weathering of the rock layers.
The Schrattelofen is located on the southern slope of the Reinischkogel at an altitude of 1130 m, about 5 minutes' walk from the vlg farm . Großannerl on a forest path that branches off from the state road L 645 (Sallegger Straße) at the Reinischwirt, belongs to hiking trail 569 and leads to the Absetzwirt at Rosenkogel.
The natural monument is entered in the land register as "rock formation Schrattelofen" . An area of 2830 m² is protected around it. Protection is based on a decision from the Deutschlandsberg district administration. The protected area belongs to the basic areas of the farm vlg. Großannerl.
