geology
From a geological point of view, the area lies in the so-called gravel area. This emerged when, in the older ice ages (Günz, Mündel), large rivers poured their gravel masses of varying thicknesses onto the new surface (Schliersockel) of the Molasse zone that was created by silting up. The gravel was then covered by several meters of thick clay packets, while the gravel floors were cut into terraces by the rivers. Due to the erosion of the terraces, the hill country was formed.
On the wide, gentle slopes, deep, well-supplied to moderately moist, pseudo-gleyed, lime-free loose sediment brown soils prevail. There is alternately moist pseudogley on the planed surfaces . Steeper slopes and plateau edges in turn show colored local soils or loose sediment brown earth that is rich in coarse matter. In the lower slopes, hollows, valley floors and ditches, there are soil forms influenced by groundwater such as gullied loose sediment brown earth and groundwater gleye. Pararendzins and loose sediment brown soils can be found on the lower terrace .
