The Salt Mud Slide ((スロベニア語:plaz Slano Blato)) is a periodic landslide in Slovenia that is triggered approximately once a century.〔(Kovač, Mirko, & Marko Kočevar. 2001. Plaz Slano Blato nad Lokavcem pri Ajdovščini. ''UJMA'' 14–15: 122–129. ) (with photos, maps) 〕 The landslide is located below Mount Čaven and Little Mountain ((スロベニア語:Mala gora)) next to the Platna mountain pasture.〔(Platna Pasture at Geopedia )〕 It is moving along Grajšček Creek (which also originates in the landslide itself〔Savnik, Roman, ed. 1968. Krajevni leksikon Slovenije, vol. 1. Ljubljana: Državna založba Slovenije. p. 24.〕) toward the settlement of Lokavec near Ajdovščina.〔 It is 1,010 to 1,300 m long and 60 to 250 m wide, covering approximately 15 ha between the elevations of 360 and 660 m.〔〔 Zorn, Matija, Blaž Komac, Milan Orožen Adamič, & Karel Natek. 2008. ''Zemeljski plazovi v Sloveniji''. Ljubljana: Založba ZRC, p. 39.〕 Its maximum flow rate was recorded at 100 m/day.〔 Although around 8,000 active landslides are present in Slovenia, the Salt Mud Slide stands out as one of the most serious in terms of the damage it has caused.〔Komac, Blaž & Matija Zorn. ''Pobočni procesi in človek''. Ljubljana: Založba ZRC.〕 ==Name== The name of landslide area was recorded as ''Blatna'' ('muddy') in 1881.〔 The origin of the designation 'salt(y)' (Slovene ''slan'') is uncertain. A local folk belief states that the high cleanup cost of the landslide resulted in an exorbitant cost (cf. Slovene ''zasoliti'' 'to over-salt'; metaphorically, 'to charge excessively'). However, the landslide bore the designation 'salt(y)' before any cleanup efforts were ever made.〔〔Rosana Rijavec. 2009. "Plaz Slano blato kljub sanaciji ne miruje". ''Večer'' (30 January).〕 Other locals state that sheep used to wander down to the area from nearby pastures, where they would lick the mud as a natural salt lick. This basis for the name's origin is supported by the fact that chemical analysis of the water at the landslide has shown it to have a very high mineral content, including sodium sulfate, also known as Glauber's salt.〔〔(Benko, Igor. 2011.
