  In 2005 avalanche in the waterfall on the mountain Untersberg


The big snow amounts in winter, 2005 released unusually strong avalanches. Trees below the waterfall annual-tenth long grewing had been mowed down.

Avalanche departure: tree stump Avalanche departure: tree stump
Not cuted by people but by an avalanche. Behind it the waterfall from where the avalanche came down. These photos make the chances of survival in an avalanche comprehensible.


Avalanche effect: twisted tree Avalanche effect: twisted tree
The avalanche departure with the waterfall in the west side of the mountain Untersberg bent this tree so strongly that he burst in the mountain direction.






Height of the avalanche: broken branches till 5-m height Only above 5 ms the branches got over the avalanche departure. Everything under it either broken or in direction of the avalanche bent. Avalanche damage: uprooted tree The roots have broken off in immediate nearness of the tree. So far about the idea to hide behind a tree to escape an avalanche. Avalanche damages: tree uproots The age of the tree shows that it was possible here annual-tenth long to grow. Only the big snow amounts from 2005 led to the destructive avalanche. Strength of an avalanche: ruptured tree What is a stronger? A car with 150 km/h or an avalanche? To me are known no destructions like this caused by car accidents. Tempo of a Lwaine: edge broken This tree stood over half of this concrete hut for the water supply. The avalanche broke off the tree so fast that he broke off with the impact a second time at the edge. Snow cave build Experience for Yourself the dangerousness of an avalanche: Make a snow cave. At the surface only loose snow, but more and more hard snow in the depth.
