The Gail River in the Schütt

Am 25. Jänner 1348 stürzten,ausgelöst durch ein Erdbeben in Friaul, etwa 150 Mio. m³ Stein vom Dobratsch ins Tal und verschütteten der Legende nach 17 Dörfer. Die Bergsturzmassen fielen jedoch auf das unbesiedelte Gebiet der alten Bergstürze. Bergsturzgebiet Rote Wand Durch den Rückstau der Gail, der einen etwa drei Kilometer langen See entstehen ließ, mussten allerdings zwei Dörfer aufgegeben werden. Die letzten Reste des Sees verschwanden erst im 18. Jahrhundert. Dieser Bergsturz ist vermutlich auch durch das feuchte Wetter im Jahr davor und den schneereichen Winter unterstützt worden. Durch die große Feuchtigkeit wurde das Material gelockert, sodass das Erdbeben als Auslöser der Katastrophe diente.

Das Abbruchgebiet am Berg ist heute als Rote Wand bekannt - direkt darüber gibt es heute einen Skywalk; das Ablagerungsgebiet trägt den Namen "Die Schütt" und steht unter Naturschutz. Die Gegend ist aber auch perfekt für kleine Wanderungen für die ganze Familie - auch ein Besuch in der Almwirtschaft zahlt sich aus.
