Aletsch Glacier The Aletsch Glacier (German: "Aletschgletscher" ) or Great Aletsch Glacier ("Grosser Aletschgletscher ") is the largest glacier in the Alps. It has a length of about 23 km (2014), has about a volume of 15.4 km3 (2011), and covers about 81.7 km2 (2011) in the eastern Bernese Alps in the Swiss canton of Valais. The Aletsch Glacier is composed of four smaller glaciers converging at Concordia Place, where its thickness was measured by the ETH to be still near 1 km . It then continues towards the Rhône valley before giving birth to the Massa. The Aletsch Glacier is – like most glaciers on this world – a retreating glacier. As of 2016, since 1980 it lost 1.3 km of its length, since 1870 3.2 km , and lost also more than 300 m of its thickness.

Ländchen (Havelland) A Ländchen is the German name given to several Ice Age plateaux in the Havelland region, which climb to over 70 metres above the formerly marshy "urstromtal" levels (old glacial meltwater valleys) of the Havelland Luch and the Rhinluch. The difference between these "Ländchen" and the surrounding countryside is even more marked because of the different land uses to which they are put. Extensive pastures in the lowlands contrast with the arable fields and woods on the low hills. Geologically they are largely complete formations of ground moraine from the Saale and Weichselian glaciations that, in places, are covered by gently rolling end moraines.

Baden main line The Baden main line (German: Badische Hauptbahn ) is a German railway line that was built between 1840 and 1863. It runs through Baden, from Mannheim via Heidelberg, Karlsruhe, Offenburg, Freiburg, Basle, Waldshut, Schaffhausen and Singen to Constance ("Konstanz"). The Baden Mainline is 412.7 kilometres long, making it the longest route in the Deutsche Bahn network and also the oldest in southwest Germany. The section between Mannheim and Basle is the most important northern approach to the Swiss Alpine passes, whilst the section between Basle and Constance is only of regional significance. The stretch from Karlsruhe to Basle is also known as the Rhine Valley Railway ("Rheintalbahn") and the Basle–Constance section as the Upper Rhine Railway ("Hochrheinstrecke").

Devdaraki Devdaraki (Georgian: დევდარაკი ) is a valley glacier located on the northeastern slope of Mt. Kazbek. The length of the glacier is 5.5 km and its surface area is 7.13 km2 . The tongue of the Devdaraki Glacier descends to 2,300 m above sea level. Devdaraki is known for its intense surging properties that have caused significant destruction in the past (particularly from the late 18th to the late 19th centuries). The glacier surges have led to catastrophic mudflows in the Dariali Gorge which have, on several occasions damaged the Georgian Military Highway. A massive collapse of the glacier on August 20, 2014 led to the death of seven people. The Devdaraki Glacier is the source of the River Kabakhi (left tributary of the Terek River).

Lindenberg (Switzerland) The Lindenberg, peaking at 878 m, is a wooded hill in the Swiss Plateau north of the Alps, situated between the valleys of the Aabach, the Bünz and the Reuss. The hill draws a straight north-south line. On his ridge lies the border between the cantons of Lucerne (western slope) and Aargau (eastern slope and the northern half of the hill). Although the highest peak lies in the canton of Lucerne in the municipality of Müswangen, around 75% of the hill lies in the Aargau. The highest point is unspectacular as it is very flat and wooded; it can be reached by foot, by bike or even by jeep. Despite being overgrown with large forests and fields, many villages are situated on the hill's slopes and at its base, some of the bigger are Muri AG, Sins, Hochdorf and Hitzkirch. The hill is a frequently used place for bikers, hikers, equestrians and families, as several restaurants exist on various places of the hill. Despite his low altitude for Swiss standards, at some points the view is quite a sight as Lake Zug, Lake Hallwil and Lake Baldegg and prominent Swiss mountains as Säntis, Tödi, Titlis and Finsteraarhorn can be seen from some places, like "Horben".

Wipptal The Wipptal (Wipp valley) is an Alpine valley in Tyrol, Austria and in South Tyrol, Italy, stretching between Innsbruck and Franzensfeste.

South of the border, the "Oberes Wipptal" stretches along the Eisack river by way of Sterzing to Franzensfeste. It forms the Wipptal District of the province of South Tyrol.
