Dachstein Glacier (Ice Ages)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dachstein Glacier (locally also Ennsgletscher or Traun glacier ) was during the ice ages, one of the Hauptvergletscherungszonen the Eastern Alps that today's rivers Enns and Traun included.

It consisted of a glacier tongue in the Ennstal, which got stuck in the Gesäuse, but whose side tongues spilled over the Pyhrn Pass and into the Paltental , and a glacier tongue in the Traun Valley, which gave rise to the large lakes such as Hallstätter See and Traunsee .
