geology
The rocks of the Falkenfluh mainly come from the deposit period of the Upper Sea Molasse . This sediment layer was formed around 22 to 16 million years ago when numerous rivers eroded rock material in the Alps and deposited it in the Molasse basin north of the Alps.
The Falkenfluh mainly consists of Nagelfluh , a conglomerate of rounded stone blocks of different sizes, which are solidified with a binding agent (lime, sand and clay) to form a coherent rock. Fine-grained sandstone and marl layers are also embedded between the Nagelfluh layers .
