The Glödis (3,206 Debanttal valley and the valley of Kalser Lesachtal.
Name
Slavic word gledna (= "seeing").[1]
According to Heinz Pohl, however, there are 2 possible derivations: either from the early Slovenian glodišće (= "place gnawed away by water", from glodati = "to gnaw"), but this link is phonetically difficult; or more probably from glodež which has a similar meaning.[2]
In the
Debanttal valley the mountain was for a long time called the Großer Gößnitzkopf. Its other names include Klöders and Granatkogel.[1]
