German term or phrase: Glimmerschieferzug
"Die Abgrenzung des Hochalmkerns von den Gößgranitoiden erfolgt am Nordrand des Gößkerns durch den **Glimmerschieferzug** des Draxel-Komplexes."

I've seen "Zug" linked up with "Gebirge" (Gebirgszug) to mean mountain range, but that doesn't seem to fit well here. Is anyone specifically familiar with Austrian geology and know something about the Draxel Complex? Could it be a mica-schist ridge? or maybe just a formation within the complex?
