  • OBERAMMERGAU Passion Play 2022
    The unmissable, once-a-decade OBERAMMERGAU Passion Play 2022 A collection of tours featuring the Passion Play, which also include: The Austrian Tyrol Lake Constance The Way of St. James Mozart’s Salzburg Dream Castles of Bavaria 1 EXPERIENCE AN ICON OF WORLD TRAVEL IN 2022 Taking place just once every decade, this legendary play owes its origins to a deadly plague and its almost 400-year history was disrupted in 2020 by a modern-day pandemic. Thankfully, it will now take place throughout 2022 so there’s a new opportunity to appreciate this iconic event. If you’re looking for a holiday to remember, join us in beautiful Bavaria and experience this incredible performance for yourself. All Oberammergau images © Passion Play Oberammergau An extraordinary heritage 2020 was set to mark the 42nd performance of the now-iconic Passion Play, but its schedule was disrupted due to the global outbreak of COVID-19 – a modern-day pandemic no-one could have predicted yet somewhat ironic considering the play’s origins. The Passion Play’s wheels were first set in motion back in 1633 when the Great Plague descended upon the residents of Oberammergau, a charming Bavarian village. Its citizens made a solemn vow that if their lives were spared, they would perform a play depicting the story of Christ’s life, suffering, death and resurrection every ten years. Amazingly, there were no further deaths as a result of the plague and the Passion Play officially began a year later in 1634. The event has only seen a few other incidents where it had to be postponed or cancelled throughout its almost 400- year history, but it will return in 2022 to wow audiences from around the world.

  • The Life-Span of a Small High Mountain Lake, the Vordere Blaue Gumpe in the Bavarian Alps
    Sediment Dynamics and the Hydromorphology of Fluvial Systems (Proceedings of a symposium held in 72 Dundee, UK, July 2006). IAHS Publ. 306, 2006. The life-span of a small high mountain lake, the Vordere Blaue Gumpe in the Bavarian Alps DAVID MORCHE1, CHRISTIAN KATTERFELD2, SEBASTIAN FUCHS1 & KARL-HEINZ SCHMIDT1 1 Department of Geography, Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg, D-06099 Halle, Germany [email protected] 2 Department of Geography, University of Basel, Klingelbergstrasse 27, CH-4056 Basel, Switzerland Abstract The Reintal valley in the Wetterstein Mountains in Upper Bavaria has been dammed by large rockslide deposits in some localities. Behind one of the dams a small lake, the Vordere Blaue Gumpe, was still in existence until 23 August 2005. The lake was a natural sediment sink, decoupling an area of about 1.6 km2 from fluvial sediment export out of the sediment cascade of the Reintal valley. The bergsturz event occurred about 200 years ago. It was dated by evaluating historical maps, paintings, photographs and sketches. Present research is focused on multi-temporal changes of the alluvial deposits of the delta by analysis of aerial photos and geodetic surveying. Volume loss of the lake is closely related to bed load input during extreme events and shows the geomorphic coupling of hillslope and channel systems. From regression analyses of the annual volumetric change of the lake volume, the life-expectancy of the lake was estimated to be about 15 years, before an extreme high magnitude event in August 2005 filled the lake completely with sediment. Now, after the filling of the lake, with the coupling of the catchment area of the Vordere Blaue Gumpe to downstream fluvial sediment export, higher solid load transport is expected in the lower reaches with possible negative effects on infrastructure.

Welcome to Alpenwelt Karwendel! These two mountain bikers have had a good laugh. They are returning from a break at Vereiner Alm. In the deep south of Germany, at the border with Austria, a pleasant valley with undula- ting meadows, lakes and streams extends between rocky peaks, forested mountain flanks and hills. Alpenwelt Karwendel with the three Upper Bavarian municipalities of Mittenwald, Krün and Wallgau is surrounded by four mountain massifs: the Karwendel mountains and the Soiern group to the East, the Ester mountains to the North and the Wetterstein mountains to the South-West. Because of this, the region is the ideal starting point for all kinds of mountain bike and cycling tours. If you like to take it easy, you can linger in the valley between the flower meadows, lakes and the expansive river landscape of the Isar with its shingle and gravel banks. If you prefer the forested foothills, explore the Ester mountains and the Soiern group with their shady forest roads and single trails.

  • Drainage Structures and Transit-Time Distributions in Conduit-Dominated
    Drainage structures and transit-time distributions in conduit-dominated and fissured karst aquifer systems Zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades einer DOKTORIN DER NATURWISSENSCHAFTEN von der Fakultät für Bauingenieur-, Geo- und Umweltwissenschaften des Karlsruher Instituts für Technologie (KIT) genehmigte DISSERTATION von Dipl.-Geol. Ute Lauber aus Dachau Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 21.11.2014 Referent: Prof. Dr. Nico Goldscheider Korreferent: Prof. Dr. Tim Bechtel Karlsruhe 2014 Abstract Abstract Abstract Karst aquifers are widely distributed across the world and are important groundwater resources. Solutionally-enlarged conduits embedded in fissured rock matrix result in a highly heterogene- ous underground drainage pattern that makes karst aquifers difficult to characterize. To ensure sustainable protection and management of karst water resources, hydrogeologic knowledge of karst systems is required. However, the quantitative characterization of groundwater flow in karst systems remains a major challenge. Specific investigating techniques and approaches are needed to account for the complexity of drainage. This thesis emphasizes the identification of drainage structures and the quantification of related transit-time distributions and hydraulic pa- rameters. To account for the strong heterogeneities of different types of catchment areas, three diverse karst aquifer systems are investigated: a conduit-dominated karst system, a fissured karst system and an aquifer system that comprises a karst and a porous-media (alluvial/rockfall) aquifer. For a detailed hydrogeologic assessment of the different catchment areas, adapted methods applied include a combination of artificial tracer tests, natural tracer analysis, and dis- charge analysis. The first two parts of this thesis describe a conduit-dominated karst system, the catchment area of the Blautopf (Swabian Alb, Germany).

Abstract: The 11th fascicle (20 numbers) of the exsiccata 'Licheni- colous Biota' is published. The issue contains material of 20 non- lichenized fungal taxa (16 teleomorphs of ascomycetes, 2 anamorphic states of ascomycetes, 2 basidiomycetes), including paratype material of Tremella graphidis Diederich et al. (no 269). Furthermore, collections of the type species of the following genera are distributed: Abrothallus (A. bertianus), Lichenostigma (L. maureri), Phacopsis (P. vulpina), Skyt- tea (S. nitschkei), and Telogalla (T. olivieri). *Institut für Pflanzenwissenschaften, NAWI Graz, Karl-Franzens-Universität, Holteigasse 6, A-8010 Graz, AUSTRIA. e-mail: [email protected] Introduction The exsiccata 'Lichenicolous Biota' is continued with fascicle 11 containing 20 numbers. The exsiccata covers all lichenicolous biota, i.e., it is open not only to non- lichenized and lichenized fungi, but also to myxomycetes, bacteria, and even ani- mals, whenever they cause a characteristic symptom on their host (e.g., discoloration or galls). Consequently, the exsiccata contains both highly host-specific and pluri- vorous species, as long as the individuals clearly grow upon a lichen and the col- lection is homogeneous, so that identical duplicates can be prepared. The five complete sets are sent to herbaria of the following regions: Central Europe (Graz [GZU]), Northern Europe (Uppsala [UPS]), Western Europe (Bruxelles [BR]), North America (New York [NY]), Australasia (Canberra [CANB]).
