Berchtesgaden basin

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Berchtesgaden basin is an alpine basin around the Berchtesgaden market in the extreme southeast of Bavaria or Upper Bavaria in the Berchtesgadener Land region , which is also referred to as the inner or southern district in relation to the Berchtesgadener Land district of the same name . The basin is part of a "basin landscape" of the Berchtesgaden basin or the geomorphological unit of the Berchtesgaden basin within the Berchtesgaden Alps that almost completely surround it .

Landscape and boundaries

The Berchtesgaden basin includes the eponymous market Berchtesgaden in the center to the northeast along with Anzenbach in the north, the municipality of Bischofswiesen in the northwest and Strub in the west and the hamlet of Engedey in the southwest and the municipality of Schönau am Königssee in the south, along with Oberschönau in the west and Königssee in the extreme south , but not the Königssee itself.

The Berchtesgaden basin is part of a geological basin landscape that is almost completely delimited by the Berchtesgaden Alps as a group of plateau mountains that is closed on almost all sides.

The river valleys of the Bischofswieser Ache , which flows into the Ramsauer Ache , unite in the basin . The Ramsauer Ache and from King's effluent Königsseer Ache form after their association Berchtesgadener Ache , which in the further course of water on Austrian territory from Grödig Königsseeache is called, and forms the deepest landmark of the basin at its transition.

Natural allocation

The Berchtesgaden basin and its neighboring, surrounding area are assigned as follows:

The basin meets the Bischofswiesener Mittelgebirge in the east, the Untersberg in the north, and the Schellenberger Mittelgebirge to the northeast, which merges into the Roßfeldkuppen to the southeast. In the southeast it joins the Göll massif and in the south against that of the Watzmann, with the Königssee-Obersee furrow in between. Its extreme southwest is extended to the west by Ramsau and Klausbachtal, to the south by the Wimbachgries

geology

Almost completely framed by the high mountain massifs, a pronounced basin and valley landscape is formed in the center of the Berchtesgadener Land , which is due to the spreading of softer Triassic to Cretan rocks.

The flat surfaces of the central Berchtesgaden basin are mainly characterized by the floodplains of the Königsseer , Ramsauer , Bischofswiesen and Berchtesgadener Ache , while the domed elevations in the basin were formed by glacial Triassic rocks, some of which are covered by Ice Age moraine material.
