The earth and its inhabitants .. earthitsinhabita386recl Year: 1883 14 AUSTRIA-HUNGAEY. centuries afterwards the summit of the Dobracz precipitated itself towards the town of Villach, involving ten villages and two castles in ruin. A chapel, the highest building in Austria (6,690 feet), now marks the spot where the mountain gave way. The large lakes which formerly occupied the depressions between the moun- tain ranges have either been drained or filled up by alluvium washed down from the hills. Excepting the frontier Lakes of Constanz and Garda, no lake in the German Alps has an area of over 15 square miles. The number of small lakes, however, is very great. Some of them are isolated, as the Achensee, the Zellersee, or the Caldenazzo, which gives birth to the Brenta ; others form groups, as in the Salzkammergut and Carinthia. The lake district of the Salzkammergut, though its area is only 637 square miles, includes no less than thirty-five small lakes, all of them within the basin of Fig. 6.—The Dobracz.
