geology

The Leber valley ridge is a massive fracture zone in the Graz Paleozoic , it marks the eastern border of the Schöcklkalk and the slate facies , while the Rannach facies adjoin the Rannach to the west ( Barrandei , Kanzelkalk and dolomites). To the south at the foot of the liver there is also Eggenberger breccia , which are comparatively young rock falls.

The stone ditch is interesting because of its numerous sinkholes .

History and tourism

The place name comes from the Middle High German lé, lêwer 'Grenzhügel, Grabhügel', as can be found here in Lebern near Feldkirchen .

The stonemason has been around for at least the 15th century and has been known as an inn since 1890. His name does not refer directly to the profession, but to a previous owner, who continues to exist as a house name (vulgar name).

The local area still belongs to the landscape protection area Northern and Eastern Hill Country of Graz , and is the local recreation area of ​​the city. From here hiking trails lead to the Rannach, the Schöckl, and the other surrounding peaks and areas of the Grazer Bergland.
