Limestone tuffs from Polling		190A013	Polling position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	The limestone deposits near Polling are the thickest deposits in the Bavarian Alpine foothills with up to 20 m. The formerly much larger Jakobsee was dammed by a moraine wall. Lime-rich waters overflowed the wall on a broad front and limestone tuffs were deposited in great thickness over thousands of years. Plants, leaves and wood were enclosed in the tufa, which today are only preserved as cavities or impressions in the tufa structure. Freshwater mollusks can also be found enclosed in the limestone tufa and a Neolithic layer of culture in the most recent, loose alluvial muffs. The limestone tuff, which could be easily cut when moist in the mountains and harden in the air, was a popular stone. Presumably, the Roman road leading directly past the quarry was already responsible for the spread of the stone. In two quarries (companies Geiger and Lindner), tuff is still extracted today. The active quarries are not accessible. A small outcrop in the tuff can be found on the way to the sports field northeast of the active quarries.	104000 400 × 260	Type: Rock, Quarry / Pit, Vegetable Fossils, Animal Fossils Type: Tufa	Quarry	significant	no protected area

Schwalbenstein NE from Schongau		190A016	Schongau position	Iller-Lech young moraine region	The Schwalbenstein falls with high, partly overhanging Nagelfluhfelsen towards the Lech Valley. From above, the outcrops in the younger slab gravel from the age of at least the age are not accessible. On the pathless, arduous ascent from north of Rösenau, the marls of the Upper Freshwater Molasse are soaked and partly slipped. Falling blocks from Nagelfluh are lying on them. At the upper limit of the tertiary marl, springs emerge at the quaternary base, the waters of which deposit lime and cover the steep slope with plenty of tufa - sometimes in beautiful terraces. Old spring taps served as the emergency water supply for Hochenfurch. The at least age nail flukes contain a high proportion of dolomite pebbles, which are softened and disintegrated into dolomite ash. Do not step onto the tufa formations! Stay away from the steep walls - risk of falling rocks!	37500 250 × 150	Type: layer sequence, rock type, layer source type: conglomerate, marl	Rock slope / cliff	significant	FFH area, bird sanctuary

Peat stitch in Premer felt NE from Prem		190G005	Prem position	Iller-Lech young moraine region	To the north-east of Prem lies the FFH area Urspringer Filz, Premer Filz and Cattle Pastures. A moor nature trail with peat cutting has been set up in Premer Filz. The upland moor of the Premer Filzes developed after the late to post-glacial Lechbrucker See ran out. This meltwater lake built up when the glacier retreated between the Molasse bar of Lechbruck and the Drumlinfeld E of Prem. The peat of the Premer felt was extensively extracted. The digital terrain model (Fig. 4) clearly shows the narrow parcels used for peat extraction. At the peat cutting on the moor nature trail, the technique of cutting peat is shown during guided tours.	20 10 × 2	Type: peat cut Type: peat	embankment	precious	FFH area

Spring pot blue pump	more pictures	190Q002	Iffeldorf position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	The Osterseen emerged as an ice crumbling landscape during the warming in the late ice age and are considered to be one of the most diverse and beautiful landscapes in Bavaria. The Blaue Gumpe is a spring in ice age gravel. Clear water with a temperature of approx. 10 degrees penetrates to the surface and causes steam to form over the spring on cold winter days. It probably comes from the molasses layers and is rich in lime. Therefore, the walls of the source pot are covered with light limescale deposits.	100 10 × 10	Type: Constriction Source Type: Limestone, Gravel	no information	precious	Nature reserve, landscape protection area
Sources of the former Wessobrunn monastery		190Q003	Wessobrunn position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	According to the founding legend, the Bavarian Duke Tassilo III. Spend a night in the forest hunting in 753. In a dream he saw three springs whose water flowed together in the shape of a cross and from which a ladder led to heaven. The next day his hunting companion Wezzo found the springs and Tassilo had a monastery - Wessobrunn - built there. The current well house above the three springs was built in 1735. A borehole sunk 15 m higher up the slope encountered water at a depth of 17 m in sandy-gravel worm moraine and high-glacial gravel, i.e. at about the same level as the spring outlets.

Oxbows of the Ammer in the Unterhauser Au N von Weilheim	more pictures	190R053	Weilheim in Upper Bavaria position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	The floodplain of the Ammer, which has now been diked, is full of dry oxbow lakes, which are clearly visible in the fine differences in height of the digital terrain model (Fig. 4), but are much more difficult to see with the eye in the terrain. In the city forest north of Weilheim, one of these oxbow lakes is still filled with water and therefore clearly visible. The oxbow lake is accompanied by a riparian forest.	350000 700 × 500	Type: Meander, stream / river course Type: Clay	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	significant	FFH area
Ice collapse landscape S of Burggen		190R054	Burggen position	Iller-Lech young moraine region	In the transition from the retreat moraine wall (Haslacher Stadium) to the ground moraine (Fig. 4), south of Burggen, there is a terrain that is heavily structured by hills and depressions, left behind by the ice retreat. Due to the lack of undergrowth, a moraine landscape is also easily accessible in the forest area. Moraine and near-moraine gravel are mined in a gravel pit 450 m to the northeast.	90000 300 × 300	Type: Ice crumbling landscape Type: Moraine	no information	significant	no protected area
Buckelwiesen E from Bernbeuren		190R055	Bernbeuren position	Iller-Lech young moraine region	On Drumlins east of Grönenbach, humpback meadows are preserved, which come into their own here on extensively managed pastureland and have a remarkable grassland flora.	48400 220 × 220	Type: Buckelwiese Type: Gravel	no information	significant	no protected area
Kames hill from Ried near Bernbeuren		190R056	Bernbeuren position	Iller-Lech young moraine region	The curved hill south of Ried has also been regarded as an Os and a ground moraine knoll. The poor grassland vegetation of the hill speaks against (silty) ground moraine, which is more suitable for a structure of gravel and gravel. An Os is made up of gravel and crushed stone that was deposited in a meltwater stream under the glacier and can meander through the terrain as a narrow ridge. This impression can arise when looking at the terrain, but the digital terrain model (Fig. 4) rather suggests that the shallow basins at Ried are relics of dead ice, between which gravel was poured. These gravel, poured against and between dead ice, remained as kames after the ice had melted. After the last major standstill phase of the ice retreat, which raised the high moraine walls south of Bernbeuren, the Lech glacier retreated into the Alps without any significant moraine walls.	60000 300 × 200	Type: Kames Type: Gravel	no information	precious	FFH area
Limestone terraces on the Ammerleite SSE from Peiting		190R057	Peiting position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	To the east of Ramsau, a path leads down to the Kalkofensteg over the Ammer. The path leads past a lime-separating spring. Conspicuously black pebbles in the stream bed only have a fine black coating, presumably of manganese, which was deposited on the surface from oxygen-poor water when it emerged. The former mud ponds of the Peitinger mining industry are located north of the source on the plateau. The mountains (barren rock) had been tipped over the neighboring slopes into the Ammertal. The heap has been recultivated. The lime-rich waters emerge from the worm-age gravel on the ground moraine and molasses. The source stream flows in a stone channel, then over limestone tufa terraces down to the Ammer. The limestone tufa is so thickly deposited here that it was mined in quarries and burned in a lime kiln. An old manuscript map of the first geological land survey from the middle of the 19th century shows this. The map also shows that 2 lignite flakes 2-3 might have been found down on the Ammer. The main Cyrenen shifts are due there. Please stay on the paths and do not enter the limestone terraces!	26400 220 × 120	Type: sintered terraces, stone channel Type: tufa, gravel, moraine	other information	significant	Nature reserve, FFH area
Hangquellmoor S 'des Markbachfilzes S by Steingädele		190R058	Prem position	Iller-Lech young moraine region	To the south of the Markbachfilzes there is a hillside spring moor in the FFH area. The escaping water is lime-separating. Tufa-lime can be found everywhere on the wet spots, partly as an encrustation of dead grass. The groundwater from the gravel of the Drumlinfeld in the southeast is likely to accumulate here on the clays from the southern edge of the late to post-glacial Lechbrucker See and emerge as an overflow source. The sea clays are exposed 160 m to the west in the drainage ditch by the display board of the moor educational trail (Fig. 4).	700 35 × 20	Type: Slope spring moor Type: Gravel, moraine	other information	significant	FFH area
Building block layers at the Ammer S of the Echelsbacher Bridge		190A024	Rottenbuch position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	Shortly before the Echelsbacher bridge, marl stones of the building block layers stand on a bulging slope of the Ammer. Switched-on flat to banky sandstones show ripples. The geotope is located in the Ammerschlucht nature reserve at the Echelsbacher Bridge. There is no way there. Only whitewater drivers who have mastered WW III can pass and view the geotope in compliance with the traffic regulations.	90 30 × 3	Type: Type of rock, sequence of layers Type: marlstone, sandstone	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	precious	Nature reserve, FFH area
Outcrops of the Latterbach SE from Herzogsägmühle		190A026	Peiting position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	Upstream from the bridge over the Latterbach between Herzogsägmühle and Grabhof, marls from the Upper Freshwater Molasse are found in the stream bed. They are covered by a till (glacial till) with pebbles in a fine-grained matrix. It is classified as crack-temporal, because it is overlaid by worm-era gravel and basin silts.	30000 500 × 60	Type: Layer sequence Type: silt, moraine, marl	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	precious	no protected area
End moraine landscape of the Haslacher See NE of Bernbeuren		190R061	Bernbeuren position	Iller-Lech young moraine region	The Haslacher See is the remainder of a glacial lake that has remained between the moraine walls of the Haslacher Stadium and the Burker Stadium due to the ice retreat. In the digital terrain model from laser scan data (Fig. 3, 4), the Ice Age forms can be recognized very well. The retreat moraines near Bernbeuren trace a former glacier tongue that is caused by the flow around the Auerberg. The terminal moraine of the Haslach stadium in the north is designed as a double wall. The wall meets the wall of the Lechtal glacier tongue east of the lake in a moraine junction. Originally there was a glacial lake in front of the outer moraine wall in the northwest, which later broke through the wall and then drained into the Haslacher See. This in turn had its outflow at today's Haslach towards the north, until the moraine wall in the east was breached at a later point in time, where today's Türkenbach has created a short path to the east to the Lech with a rather deep incision. Through the breakthrough of the moraine wall, the Haslacher See was relatively quickly lowered by 20 meters.	6900000 3000 × 2300	Type: terminal moraine lake Type: peat, silt, moraine	no information	precious	Landscape protection area
Schmelzwassertal between Wildsteig and Morgenbach		190R062	Wildsteig position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	Between Wildsteig and Morgenbach, the connecting road meanders through meadows between gentle hills. The road follows a - now dry - meltwater valley. Only when there is no forest can the glacial forms be seen as clearly as here. The meltwater channel is also outstanding in the digital terrain model (Fig. 3). It starts at the top of a moraine hill at around 875 m and then descends to Wildsteig at 860 m. The fact that the meltwater channel begins on top of a moraine can only mean that it was fed directly by the ice from the Ammer glacier, which must have stood here for some time when it retreated. When the glacier level dropped below 875 m, the channel fell dry.	900,000 1,800 × 500	Type: Schmelzwassertal Type: Moraine, gravel	no information	significant	no protected area
Row of sinkholes in Grabenholz S from Peiting		190R063	Peiting position	Iller-Lech young moraine region	In the Grabenholz on the Schnaidberg south of Peiting, sinkholes are lined up like on a string. The sinkholes are due to subrosion in the Weissach strata covered by moraine. This can be a lime solution in conglomerate layers with predominantly carbonate pebbles, or a mechanism described by Scholz & Strohmenger was effective: waterways have formed on the fissures of sandstones between the predominant marls of the layer sequence. These fissures are widened by lime dissolution in such a way that they form a drainage system for the surface water. Troughs in which water seeps away expand through increased limescale dissolution, through removal of fine material from the softened marl and through subsidence to pseudo-sinkholes.	3000 250 × 12	Type: Dolinenfeld Type: Marlstone, sandstone	no information	significant	no protected area
Drumlinfeld E by Prem		190R064	Prem position	Iller-Lech young moraine region	To the east of Prem is an impressive drumlin field, which traces the ice movement of the Würmzeit glacier to the north-northeast. It can be seen particularly well in the digital terrain model. But since many of the drumlins are not forested here, but pasture areas, the whale-back-like shape of individual drumlins is also clearly visible.	18000000 4500 × 4000	Type: Drumlin- / G.moränenfeld Type: Moraine	no information	precious	no protected area
Meander of the Illach near Rudersau		190R065	Rottenbuch position	Iller-Lech young moraine region	Meanders had often disappeared in the past due to river straightening. Today they are being restored through renaturation. Here on the Illach the natural stream meanders are still preserved. Meanders occur in flowing waters with a very low gradient and with fine sediment loads. Because sediment is transported in cross currents from the impact slope to the slip slope in the stream loops, the loops shift to the side and down the stream. If there is a breakthrough because two loops have approached each other, an oxbow and a mountain are left behind.	1050000 1500 × 700	Type: Meander Type: Clay	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	significant	FFH area
Ice crumbling landscape E from Schwarzenbach		190R066	Wildsteig position	Iller-Lech young moraine region	East of Schwarzenbach and west of the Illach, gravel-covered dead ice from the Lech glacier has left an ice-crumbling landscape. When the ice retreated, the Illach was the main separating drainage between the Lech glacier in the west and the Ammer glacier in the east. As a result, massive gravel was deposited in several terraces in the Illach valley.	900000 1500 × 600	Type: Ice crumbling landscape, dead ice hole Type: Gravel	no information	significant	Landscape protection area
Ice crumbling landscape SW of Wildsteig		190R067	Wildsteig position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	To the southwest of Wildsteig and east of the Illach, gravel-covered dead ice from the Ammer glacier has left an ice-crumbling landscape. When the ice retreated, the Illach was the main separating drainage between the Lech glacier in the west and the Ammer glacier in the east. As a result, massive gravel was deposited in several terraces in the Illach valley. With up to 20 m, the elongated depression south of Holz is surprisingly deep. Since there is no clear indication of gravel mining, it must have arisen entirely from the melting of dead ice under the gravel cover. To the east of it are round, more typical, dead ice holes that have now contained silted up lakes. The gravel slab falling from the Illach valley to NE can be seen in the digital terrain model (Fig. 4).	1440000 1200 × 1200	Type: Ice crumbling landscape, dead ice hole Type: Gravel	no information	precious	Landscape protection area
Seetones on Neuhaus- und Haarckbach SE from Steingaden		190A021	Steingaden position	Iller-Lech young moraine region	The confluence of the Haarck and Nickelebach rivers up the valley from the Schlögelmühle south of Steingaden is known as Neuhausbach. From about 1 km from the Schlögelmühle, there are blue-gray clays at the edge of the stream. They are sea clays. They are often inclined, probably due to the later crossing through the glacier. Pollen analyzes clearly showed a warm period in the clays, which can be assigned to the Riss-Würm interglacial by comparison. At the point of the object, a little below the confluence of the Haarckbach and Nickelebach, the clays contain remains of spruce wood. Dating was around 34,000 years. The spruce trees show similar temperatures today. So here it is about Würm-interstadial deposits. The lake apparently existed for a long time and was originally dammed by the Lech glacier from the crack age. Only with the main worm freezing did the glacier advance over the sediments. The clays are covered by worm moraine. In the Haarckbach NE von Hiebler Till of the ground moraine can be found with an overlying gravel moraine.	15000 1500 × 10	Type: sequence of layers, rock type: moraine, clay	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	precious	Landscape protection area

Upper colored molasse on the Ammer E of Rottenbuch		190A023	Rottenbuch position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	If you cross the Ammer after the Ammermühle in a southbound direction, you can take a look from the right bank of the river over the river to a bulging slope where the Obere Bunte Molasse stands. The sequence of layers of the Lower Freshwater Molasse (USM) takes its name from the colorful (brown, green, gray) marlstones that alternate with sandstones and conglomerates to build the unit. About 150 m north of the outcrop, the same sequence of layers is exposed by a landslide up in the steep valley slope.	7200 180 × 40	Type: sequence of layers, rock type: marlstone, sandstone, conglomerate	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile
Ice crumbling landscape near Peustelsau		190R059	Wildsteig position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	Around Peustelsau, the ice retreat of the Ammer Glacier has left behind an ice break-up landscape with dead ice holes. In the south, in the Leitenwiesgraben Till, the ground moraine and above it silts of an ice edge lake and meltwater gravel close to the ice edge are exposed.	360000 600 × 600	Type: ice crumbling landscape, rock type: gravel, moraine	other information	significant	no protected area
Bog break in Breitfilz NE of Schönberg		190R060	Rottenbuch position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	A bog break is a rare phenomenon in Central Europe. On the night of June 13th to 14th, 1960, after prolonged rainfalls and a subsequent heavy thunderstorm, a moor break occurred in Breitfilz. In the eastern half and on the northern edge there was a migration of peat substance with a clod-like tearing of the vegetation cover and subsidence of several meters. In the southern and southwestern part, the deposit area, there were wall-like saddles and bulges of the peat masses. In the digital terrain model, the mass relocation is evident in slight differences in relief. In the meanwhile largely wooded area, the remaining traces of the moor break can only be recognized with this prior knowledge. The old photos in the publication by Vidal (1966) are impressive.	42000 350 × 120	Type: Landslide Type: Peat	no information	precious	FFH area, bird sanctuary
