Lawine

“Lawine” is the German word for “avalanche.” It refers to a large mass of snow, ice, and debris that rapidly descends down a mountain slope. Avalanches can occur when a layer of snow collapses under its own weight or is triggered by factors such as weather conditions, human activity, or the instability of the snowpack. They pose significant risks to anyone in their path and are especially hazardous in mountainous regions during winter months. Avalanches can vary in size, speed, and destructiveness, potentially causing damage to structures, natural landscapes, and endangering lives.
