geology

In structural and geological terms, the Hasenmatt forms an anticline of the Jura folds . The apex area of ​​this anticline was broken open at weak points by erosion and a large part was removed. As a result, the underlying, softer marl of the Effinger strata and partly the main roe stone from the middle Jurassic period ( Dogger ) came to light. The Hasenmatt forms the southern leg of the anticline and is made up of competent layers of rock from the Sequan and Kimmeridge limestone (upper Malm ).
