Spertental
The Spertental is a southern side valley of the Brixental located in Tyrol, Austria. The valley, which is 8 km in length, unites with the Brixental near Kirchberg in Tirol (837 m). The Aschauer Ache flows through Spertental. The landscape is surrounded by great, smooth mountains. The highest summits, the Großer Rettenstein and (2,366 m) and Kleiner Rettenstein (2,216 m), as well as smaller peaks, form a protective wall around the valley. The Aschauer Ache rises at the foot of the Großer Rettenstein and then flows to Kirchberg, continuing to Reith bei Kitzbühel before discharging into the Kitzbühler Ache near St. Johann in Tirol. The main settlement in the valley is Aschau im Spertental. The little village has around 100 inhabitants. The hamlet has its own parish church, the Holy Cross of Christ (''Heiliger Kreuz Christi''), its own school and a community hall. It also has its own band. Near Aschau the Spertental branches into the ''Oberengrund'' and ''Unterengrund''; be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Großer Rettenstein
The Großer Rettenstein is a mountain with multiple peaks in the Kitzbühel Alps in Austria. The main summit reaches a height of Although not the highest mountain in the Kitzbühel Alps (that honour goes to the Kreuzjoch at ), the Großer Rettenstein is the most striking in this range of otherwise gentle grass-covered mountains. It also has a mighty, craggy, summit block made of limestone, four hundred metres high, that stands atop base of grauwacke and primary rock (''Urgestein'' - quartz phyllite). The Rettenstein is the dominating peak of the Spertental valley. Its isolated location also makes the summit an outstanding viewing point and it is therefore a popular destination. To the north the Rettenstein sends a long ridge out to the Spiessnägel, that separates the ''oberer Grund'' and ''unterer Grund''. Nature The Rettenstein lies in the Spertental-Rettenstein protected landscape and so Pine, Spruce, Gentian, Willow Gentian, Platenigl, Edelweiss, Monkshood, Rock Ptarmiga ...

Brixental
The Brixental ("Brixen Valley") is a southeastern side valley of the Tyrolean Lower Inn Valley in Austria with a length of about 30 km (18.6 mi). Near Wörgl (513 m AMSL; 318 mi) the Brixental and Inn valleys meet. The Brixental had belonged to Salzburg since 1312 and first joined Tyrol in 1816 when the new European order came into being. The valley lies in the Kitzbühel Alps and its main river of the valley is the Brixentaler Ache. Behind a gentle mountain saddle near Brixen im Thale it reaches the ski resort of Kitzbühel, which is also the district capital and lies on the federal road (''Bundesstraße'') to Salzburg. Since 1875 the Salzburg-Tyrol Railway has also followed the course of the valley. The landscape of the Brixental is characterised by smooth, mainly wooded mountains. Two peaks almost reach 2,000 metres in height: the Hohe Salve (1,828 m, also called "the Rigi of the Tyrol"), visible from a long way off, and the Gampenkogel (1,957 m) ...

Side Valley
Side valleys and tributary valleys are valleys whose brooks or rivers flow into greater ones. Upstream, the valleys can be classified in an increasing order which is equivalent to the usual orographic order: the tributaries are ordered from those nearest to the source of the river to those nearest to the mouth of the river. A confluence is where two or more tributaries or rivers flow together. Orographic order (e.g. Humber) In the orographic classification (order of rivers) the tributary river has order ''n+1'', if ''n'' describes the primary (or main) river. A river which flows directly into the ocean (e.g. the English rivers Thames or Humber) has the orographic order n=1, the River Ouse n=2, the Wharfe n=3 and so on. Geomorphology The term "side valley" is used for ''higher order valleys'' near mountains (example above: the Pennines), as opposed to lower valleys that do not have a strong relief. This is because the " main stem river" (into which the secondary river flo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Valleys Of Tyrol (state)
A valley is an elongated low area often running between Hill, hills or Mountain, mountains, which will typically contain a river or stream running from one end to the other. Most valleys are formed by erosion of the land surface by rivers or streams over a very long period. Some valleys are formed through erosion by glacier, glacial ice. These glaciers may remain present in valleys in high mountains or polar areas. At lower latitudes and altitudes, these glaciation, glacially formed valleys may have been created or enlarged during ice ages but now are ice-free and occupied by streams or rivers. In desert areas, valleys may be entirely dry or carry a watercourse only rarely. In karst, areas of limestone bedrock, dry valleys may also result from drainage now taking place cave, underground rather than at the surface. Rift valleys arise principally from tectonics, earth movements, rather than erosion. Many different types of valleys are described by geographers, using terms th ...
