Innpfad Roppen, Tirol, Austria - Places of Geologic Significance on Waymarking.com

About 3,000 years ago, huge masses of rock fell from the Tschirgant south wall. The eruption site in the white wall of the Tschirgantwand is clearly visible. The landslide area of Tschirgant is a largely natural state, rough terrain. Large dolomite and limestone blocks that dot the valley floor between banked and Haiming Roppen far into the Ötztal. The Inn and the Ötztal river Ache had to laboriously dig through the landslide area.

The geo-path provides a variety of impressions and invites the following topics to consider: irrigation, building of limestone, use of mineral resources, agriculture, transport, culture, origin of birds, mass transport by glaciers and rivers, colorful stones and their origin, species richness in pine forests, soil formation, lichens, formation of stalactites.
