Abstract
A very heavy thunderstorm in 1997 triggered a great number of shallow landslides near Sachseln in canton Obwalden. 280 of these were analysed in the field. The results show that, among other factors, the condition and structure of the forest considerably influence the stability of steep slopes.Keywords
