The landslide at the Dohlenstein in Kahla (Thür.). We created our 3D model from the freely available 1 m-LiDAR data of the Free State of Thuringia (https://www.geoportal-th.de/de-de/Dow...), the also freely available geological maps (http://www.tlug-jena.de/kartendienste/) and GoogleEarth satellite photos. The animation was realized exclusively with open source software: QGIS, Blender, GIMP, InkScape and Audacity. Music: Vibe Mountain, Clover3

The Dohlenstein landslide occurred on an inverted graben in the Saale valley, Germany. The top of the hill is made up of Muschelkalk, the base is Buntsandstein (both Triassic rock successions). The first description of a landslide dates from 1740. Back then, the Saale River was partially blocked. Even today the river has not managed to entirely erode the landslide toe. The landslide was reactivated several times (1780, 1828, 1881, 1920). Our 3D model is based on field mapping, open 1 m LiDAR data (https://www.geoportal-th.de/de-de/Dow...External link), the freely available geological maps (http://www.tlug-jena.de/kartendienste/External link), and GoogleEarth Imagery. The animation was created with free open source software: QGIS, Blender, GIMP, InkScape, Audacity.
