Bratschen

Violas are weathering forms that arise almost exclusively on the lime - mica schists of the Upper Schieferhülle in the Hohe Tauern by frost and aeolian Auswehung. The Kalkglimmerschiefer, which is blue-gray in fresh fracture, weathered yellow to brown and zerblättert just superficial to the violas. These constitute up to 40 ° steep, rocky and barely vegetated mountain slopes with a peculiar, founded in wind erosion, rough surface. Violas are found for example on Fuscherkarkopf, the bear heads on the Kitzsteinhorn, the Schwerteck or to the - after hot forming - Viola heads.
