Außerfern
Außerfern () refers to the district of Reutte in the Austrian federal state of Tyrol. Etymology The name is probably derived from ''Außer dem Fern'' ("beyond the Fern" where ''Fern'' is the Fern Pass).Finsterwalder, K. (1995): Die Ortsnamen im Außerfern. – In: Ölberg, H. M. & Grass, N.: Tiroler Ortsnamenkunde – Gesammelte Aufsätze und Arbeiten 3. – S. 1197-1210; Innsbruck (Wagner). ''Außer-'' ("outer") and ''Inner-'' ("inner") in the Tyrolese dialect are common prefixes to the name of a valley and distinguish the mouth of the valley from its upper reaches, or the section of a valley downstream of its main settlement from the upstream regions, or simply the directions into and out of the valley. ''Außerfern'' may possible refer, therefore, to the valley up to the historic climb to the Fern Pass. History The region was settled from the 10th century along the Via Claudia Augusta by Alamanni. At the end of the 13th century it became part of the County of Tyrol through ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Allgäu Alps
The Allgäu Alps () are a mountain range in the Northern Limestone Alps, located on the Austria–Germany border, which covers parts of the Germany, German states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg and the Austrian states of Tyrol (state), Tyrol and Vorarlberg.

Fern Pass
Fern Pass (elevation 1212 m) 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. History The pass was created when a huge mountain slide (actually the collapse of an entire mountain, with an estimated volume of 1 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 ...
