The Hausstock is a mountain in the Glarus Alps, at an elevation of on the border between the cantons of Glarus and Graubünden. It overlooks the valleys of Linth and Sernf rivers in Glarus, and the valley of the Vorderrhein river in Graubünden. The Hausstock was the site of the 1799 withdrawal of the Russian army under General Alexander Suvorov. A well-known destination already in the nineteenth century with British and American climbers, the mountain remains popular with mountain climbers and skiers. ==Geography and geology== The Hausstock overlooks the valleys of Linth and Sernf rivers in Glarus, and valley of the Vorderrhein river in Graubünden. The nearest settlements are the villages of Linthal (in the Linth valley), Elm (in the Sernf valley) and Pigniu (on the slopes of the Vorderrhein valley). Administratively, the mountain lies in the municipalities of Glarus Süd, Ilanz/Glion and Andiast. The Richetli Pass to the north of the mountain connects the villages of Elm and Linthal, reaching an elevation of and separating the Hausstock from the Kärpf mountain. The Panix Pass to the south-east connects the villages of Elm and Pigniu, reaching an elevation of . Both passes carry only rough hiking trails, although the Richetli Pass forms part of the Alpine Pass Route, a long-distance hiking trail across Switzerland between Sargans and Montreux.〔 The Hausstock is connected to the summit of the Ruchi to the south-west by a long ridge.〔 Like the rest of the nummulite formation of the high Glarus Alps, the Hausstock contains fine-grained black sandstone. The mountain is part of the Glarus thrust, a major thrust fault; the top layer consists of ''Verrucano'' formations, 250-300 Ma old, on top of chalk, 100-150 Ma, and flysch, 35-50 Ma.〔 p. 11.〕 In 2008, the thrust was declared a geotope, a geologic UNESCO world heritage site, under the name ''Swiss Tectonic Arena Sardona''.〔See also 〕 The Glarus thrust can clearly be seen on the mountain at approximately . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hausstock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
