'''Rattenberg''' ({{langx|bar|Råttnberg}}) is a [[town|City]] on the [[Inn River]] in the [[Austria]]n state of [[Tyrol (state)|Tyrol]] near Rattenberg mountain and [[Innsbruck]]. With just 400 inhabitants and a surface area of 10 ha
==Geography==
The proximity of a mountain to the south of the town means that Rattenberg, like many villages nested in steep sided valleys throughout the [[Tyrol (state)|Tyrol]] region of the [[Alps]], receives no direct sunlight for much of the winter. It is one of the few places at a significant southerly latitude that experiences a prolonged period without direct sunlight (another is [[Viganella]], Italy), although the sky remains bright while the town is in the mountain's shadow so there is no permanent darkness or 'polar night' as experienced north of the [[Arctic Circle]].

===The modern era===
In November 2005, the town announced they were building 30 specialized rotating mirrors called [[heliostat]]s to reflect sunlight into parts of the town during the winter months.<ref name="iolNov2005">{{cite web|title=Mirrors shed light as winter grips small town |date=2005-11-18 |publisher=Independent Online |url=http://www.int.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=14&click_id=116&art_id=qw113229954082B223 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060614035808/http://www.int.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=14&click_id=116&art_id=qw113229954082B223 |archive-date=2006-06-14}}</ref> The [[United States dollar|$]]2.4 million operation was suggested by Bartenbach Lichtlabor GmbH, a lighting design company.
