Geological excursion to Hornbergl


A field exercise during the course Geology for surveyors (Modul BV340022 „Bauen: Ingenieurbaukunde, Verkehrswegebau und Geologie“) took place on Hornbergle mountain (Reutte, Tyrol).

The objective of the trip was the slope movement and mountain spreading region Hornbergle. The students got on-site in touch with the layer sequence and the geologic-tectonic profile. Other topics concerned causes of slope movements and the installed measurement systems.
