Abstract

In this chapter we discuss the karren assemblages of the karst of the high mountains that we discovered: grikekarren-rinnenkarren, rinnenkarren-grikekarren(s), rinnenkarren-pit, rinnenkarren-grike, wall karren-schichtfugenkarren and pit-grikekarren assemblages. We also analyze the type of denudation on the areas of the karren assemblages. Furthermore, we present the karren denudation of glacier valley slopes.
