Flims Rockslide
The Flims Rockslide occurred about 10,000 years ago in what is now eastern Switzerland. It is known as the biggest landslide incident in the Alps and the biggest worldwide whose effects are still visible, moving some 12 km3 (2.9 cu mi) of rock, about 300 times that of the historic Swiss Goldau landslide. The town of Flims can be found at the line where the slip surface disappears under the debris. North of Flims the rock face of Flimserstein stands 350 metres (1,148 ft) high whereas more westerly the slide surface is clearly visible. South of Flims lies a huge hilly debris area that ever remained a forest as this area is not suitable for farming firstly for its shape and even more for its lack of water. The river Rhine crosses this debris in a gorge called Ruinaulta. The Rhine nowadays is
