ABSTRACT
The area on the northern slopes of the so-called “Carnic Alps” in the southern part of Austria’s Carinthia country is affected by numerous mass movements.
The Carnic Alps, as a member of the (tectonically defined) “Southern Alps” are divided from the “Central Alps” in the north of the area by a continental lineament called the “Periadriatic Lineament” leading from southern Switzerland to Slovenia.
