Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Fern Pass is a mountain pass in the Tyrolean Alps in Austria. It is located between the Lechtal Alps on the west and the Mieming Mountains on the east. The highest peak in Germany, the Zugspitze is only 13.5 km away to the northeast. The pass lies between the Grubigstein (2233 m) on the northwest, the Wannig (2493 m) on the southeast, and the Loreakopf (2471 m) on the west. The pass was created when a huge mountain slide (actually the collapse of an entire mountain, with an estimated volume of 1,000 km3; the third-largest mountain slide ever in the eastern Alps) filled part of the valley to a height of 300 400 meters, distributing its boulders up to 16 km away. While it was initially believed that this had happened at least 12,000 years B.P. as a consequence of the strong temperature increase and intense run-off after the end of the last deglaciation, pollen analysis performed as early as 1940 had already indicated an age of not much more than 4,000 years (i.e., an event date around 2000 B.C.), an estimate that was essentially confirmed by radiocarbon dating in the 1960s.
