The Blaser is a 2241 m above sea level. A. , according to other sources 2244 m high mountain in the Stubai Alps in the Austrian state of Tyrol .
topography
The Blaser lies north of Trins in the Gschnitztal and west of the Wipptal . The Serles rises to the northwest . In the west is the 2392 m high Peilspitze . The north side of the Blaser is characterized by steep gullies and craggy terrain, the south flank to the Gschnitztal is much flatter. Due to its location in the foehn lane of the Wipptal, the Blaser is considered a particularly windy mountain, from which its name is derived.
Development
Numerous marked hiking trails lead from Trins , Maria Waldrast , Matrei , Steinach and from Kalbenjoch ( 2225 m ) to the summit. To the southwest just below the summit is the private Blaserhütte refuge, which is managed in summer at 2180 m . A road leads up to it, which also makes the Blaser a popular mountain bike tour.
Botanical meaning
Above the tree line , which is here at approx. 1800 m , the vegetation of mountain pines and mountain mowers ( sand drought mowers ) is marked. The Blaser is known for its variety of flowers (e.g. gentian and edelweiss ). In 1875, the Austrian botanist Anton Kerner von Marilaun laid the world's first high alpine garden here just below the summit at 2195 m , but it was closed again in 1898.
geology
Like the Kalkkögel , the Serleskamm or the Tribulaune in the western Stubai Alps, the Blaser belongs to the Brennermesozoic. That is, it is built from sedimentary rocks that were deposited in the Mesozoic Era. Tectonically, however, the Blaser occupies a special position here. In contrast to the other sedimentary rocks of the Brennermesozoic, which have a slight metamorphic overprint, here the rocks are not or hardly metamorphic overprint. The rocks here belong to the Blaser ceiling , which is superimposed on the rest of the Brenner Mesozoic. The Blaserdecke is not limited to the area of the Blasers, but also extends over the Peilspitze , the Kalbenjoch and the ridge roughly from the Serlesjöchl to the Kesselspitze . There are also rocks in some places on the south side of the Gschnitztal that are part of the Blaser ceiling. This blanket is attributed to the Oberostalpin , according to the geologist Alexander Tollmann , the Blaserdeck represents a remnant of the northern limestone Alps that were pushed to the north . As for the rocks, the Blaser is mainly composed of Triassic dolomite .
