In 1964, this was the scene of a landslide: the entire ridge east of the Breitenberg fell into the valley and buried forests and meadows under its rocks.

Mountaineering

The Hinterstein landslide created a geotope south of Hinterstein in the Oberallgäu district. On May 6, 1966, parts of the mountain slope on the eastern slope of the Breitenberg broke off over a length of 400 m and slipped into the Ostrach valley.

Hiking

Really impressive how powerful and powerful nature is. How much m³ of scree covered several hectares in the valley. It is historically described on the information board.
