Rotsohl (Rotsohlalm; Rothsohl; Rabenstein), Gollrad, Mariazell, Steiermark, Österreich
A former open pit mine producing “Rohwand” (= aggregate of ankerite and dolomite plus quartz) with about 15% Fe which was used without roasting as an additive in the blast furnace in Aschbach. Worked mainly in the 19th century, but it was already mentioned in the 16th century. Due to the high elevation the mine could be worked during the summer only.
Located 7.8 km SO of Wegscheid on the Rotsohlschneide, SW slope of Hohe Veitsch, at N47.63318 E15.39327, elev. 1463 m.

The lore says: Every 7 years the „Rotsohler Krampus“ (Krampus is a beast-like creature from the folklore, who is said to capture particularly naughty children in his bag and carry them away to his lair) will be haunting Mariazell on Dec 5 and then will disappear again in an old adit on Rotsohl.
