The Fleischbachkees is a glacier in the Rieserferner Group ( Lenksteinkamm ). It stretches east to the Italian border in the municipality of St. Jakob in Defereggen ( East Tyrol ) between Dreieggspitze and Lenkstein .
location
The Fleischbachkees is divided into the Western or Northern Fleischbachkees and the Southern or Eastern Fleischbachkees, with the border at the Fleischbachjoch running between the Fleischbachjoch. The northern Fleischbachkees stretches between the Dreieggspitze ( 3030 m above sea level ), the Kleiner Rotstein ( 3048 m above sea level ), the Großer Rotstein ( 3147 m above sea level ), the Mulle ( 3162 m above sea level). ) and the Muklasspitze in the southwest and the Wasserköpf and Fleischbachspitze ( 3157 m above sea level ) in the northeast. The northern Fleischbachkees ends in the north at an altitude of around 2760 meters and drains to the north mainly via two drains into the Fleischbach, which flows into the Schwarzach . The westernmost of the two outflows is fed by a small cirque lake.
Only remnants of the southern Fleischbachkees have survived, which extend between the northeast flank of the Winkelspitze and the Lenkstein or lie north of the Rosshorn . At the head of the valley below is the Sankt Josef See , which also drains into the Schwarzach via the Seebach.
history
The northern Fleischbachkees reached in 1850 with a narrow tongue over the steep step of the water heads down to 2230 meters. The southern Fleischbachkees reached down to 2520 meters in the middle of the 19th century, whereby the glacier was nourished by coherent firn basins between Fleischbachspitze and Mulle and between Lenkstein and Rosshorn.
