Lechquellen Mountains
The Lechquellen Mountains ((ドイツ語:Lechquellengebirge)) or Lechquellen range〔Fink, Humbert and Pflanzer, Hella (1993). ''Impressions of Austria'', Pinguin-Verlag.〕 is a small mountain group within the Northern Limestone Alps of the Eastern Alps. It lies entirely within the Austrian state of Vorarlberg and includes the upper reaches of the River Lech with its headstreams in a horseshoe shape as well as the Upper Großwalsertal valley.
== Origin of the name ==
The name ''Lechquellengebirge'' (literally "Lech source mountains") is certainly accurate, for the greater part of the mountain range surrounds the upper reaches of the River Lech with its two spring-fed streams, the Formarinbach and the Spullerbach. Nevertheless, it is in fact an artificial name made up by Walther Flaig at a time when the development of mountaineering in the Alps had been largely completed. Previously, the mountain range had been called either the Klostertal Alps or counted as part of the Lechtal Alps east of the Flexen Pass.
Artificial names often find it hard to establish themselves in everyday language. By contrast, there are Alpine groups named after placenames that go back centuries or even millennia, such as the Raetikon or the neighbouring Verwall. Others are named after valleys that have been referred to by the same name from time immemorial, such as the Ötztal Alps. It will take decades to determine whether the name of the Lechquellen Mountains has prevailed as naturally as the name of other Alpine groups. It is also unclear whether the UIAA or even the European Union will work out and lay down an internationally recognized classification of the Alps. If they do, then the Lechquellen Mountains will either be officially recoginsed or absorbed into other groups.
