Fern Pass, Austria

Fern Pass (1,212 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 to the northeast. The pass lies between the Grubigstein (2,233 m) on the northwest, the Wannig (2,493 m) on the southeast, and the Loreakopf (2471 m) on the west. The pass was created when a huge mountain with an estimated volume of 1,000 km3, collapsed and filled part of the valley, to a height of 400 meters, distributing rubble up to 16 km away.
