Description
Deutsch: Bergsturz von Köfels im Ötztal. Vor etwa 8.700 Jahren stürzten rund drei Kubikkilometer Gestein von der Westseite des Ötztals herab. Die Felsmassen blockierten den Lauf der Ötztaler Ache, die sich später eine Schlucht (Maurach) durch den Schutt fressen musste. Durch die Reibungshitze schmolz der Gneis an der Basis des Bergsturz und bildete ein glasiges Gestein, das als Köfelsit bezeichnet wird.
English: Site of the Köfels landslide (Ötztal, Tyrol, Austria). About 8,700 years ago, some 3 cubic kilometers rock slided down the western side of the Ötztal. The rubble blocked the Ötztaler Ache, which later formed a small canyon (Maurach). Friction caused the Gneiss at the base of the landslide to melt, forming a glassy rock known as Köfelsite.
