Description
Catastrophic 1248 Landslide
The 1248 Landslide was one of the biggest and deadliest landslides in Europe.

In the year 1248, between November 24–25, a mass of limestone resting on marls slid into the valley, causing a massive landslide that destroyed many villages and caused over a thousand casualties, although the numbers are still debated.This event created the sheer 700 m north face of the mountain.
It stopped just before the church of Myans where a few other "miracles" have been documented since then.
Five villages were partly or completely destroyed by the avalanch.
