The Sundergrund is a side valley of the Zillergrund in the Zillertal Alps in Tyrol . The Sunderbach flows through it.
geography
The Sundergrund branches off at around 1260 m above sea level. A. from the Zillergrund towards the south and runs relatively straight for around 8 km to the Zillertal main ridge . In the east, the Riblerkamm emitted by the Napfspitze ( 3144 m above sea level ) separates the Sundergrund from the Hundskehle , in the west the Ahornkamm with the Rosswandspitze ( 3157 m above sea level ) from the Stilluptal . At the end of the valley there is a high alpine transition to the South Tyrolean Ahrntal via the Hörndljoch ( 2553 m above sea level ) . At the end of the valley, at over 2200 m above sea level. A. are the moors Mösla and Langeben. The west side is taken up by the Grasleitenkees. Numerous waterfalls pour over the steep side walls. The valley is little developed, the only managed hut is the Kainzenhüttenalm at 1550 m above sea level. A.
geology
The Sundergrund is a trough valley formed by glaciers , which is cut into the crystalline rock of the central gneiss . There are no glacial deposits on the valley floor of the Sundergrund, they are completely covered with scree slopes and debris flow deposits . Most of the alluvial fans consist of angular rocks up to 10 m in diameter. At the head of the valley, below the Hollenzkofel, there is an active rock glacier that rises up to 2370 m above sea level. A. reaches down.
