Outcrop on the castle hill in Winzer		271A001	Winemaker position	Dungau	In the area of ​​the Danube rim fracture there is vintner gneiss, a light gray-green, granular rock with larger feldspar fragments and a blastocataclastic structure. The formerly highly metamorphic pearl gneisses were tectonically sheared and partially recrystallized. The outcrop on Burgberg Winzer is considered a type locality for diaphtoretic rocks in the area. So far, only the plateau has been protected as a natural monument.	10000 100 × 100	Type: Type locality Type: Gneiss	embankment	precious	Natural monument
Former quarry S of Deggenau (Martinswand)		271A003	Deggendorf position	Dungau	The pearly gneiss has been heavily metaplastically changed in individual layers, the structure loses its linear structure and becomes nebulitic to granitoid. You can see some discordant granite dikes with an aplitic border as well as relictic biotite gneiss clods and calcium silicates in pearl gneiss. The old quarry wall serves as a climbing garden (= Martinswand), the quarry floor is z. T. used as a storage place.	1500 150 × 10	Type: Rock Type: Gneiss, Granite	Quarry	significant	Natural park
Gneiss exposure half mile		271A005	Deggendorf position	Dungau	Pending is pearl gneiss with z. Partly incomplete reconstruction of older migmatic layer gneisses that are partially integrated as smaller clods in the pearl gneiss structure. The formation of pearl gneiss is mainly due to tectonic changes in metamorphic parent rock. The outcrop has overgrown so much that some sections are no longer accessible.	500 100 × 5	Type: Rock type, metamorphic structure Type: Gneiss	embankment	significant	Landscape protection area, nature park
Former quarry E of Flintsbach		271A006	Winemaker position	Passau Forest	From the formerly exposed profile, only the Kieselnierkalk of the Ortenburg layers (Malm beta) and sponge limestone (Malm alpha) is exposed. Protective rock layers and sandstone slabs (Turon?) Can be found in karst funnels. Formerly coastal sandstones of the Malm Alpha and oolite limestone of the Callov were exposed. The altitude on the western edge of the basement is an argument for the Danube rim break as a relay break.	8400 140 × 60	Type: standard / reference profile, karst chimney, karst crevice Type: limestone	Quarry	especially valuable	Landscape protection area, nature park
Former Laschinger NE quarry from Padling		271A007	Hunding position	Front Bavarian Forest	There are diorite clods sitting in the pearl gneiss, which represent the remainder of a larger vein-shaped diorite body. The information provides information on the intrusion mechanism and the relative age of intrusion and metamorphosis. The surrounding pearl gneiss is clearly textured and contains relics of calcium silicate and layer gneisses.	1750 50 × 35	Type: contact, rock type, metamorphic structure Type: diorite, gneiss	Quarry	precious	Landscape protection area, nature park
Former granite quarries NE of Frauenmühle	more pictures	271A013	Metten position	Front Bavarian Forest	In the quarries, the medium-grain Metten facies of the Metten granite massif are exposed. The northern quarry still shows relatively good exposure conditions (partly climbing garden). Various corridors are visible in the walls. The southern fraction (Stbr. Schleifmühle), on the other hand, is already overgrown. A wet biotope is created on the bottom.	25000 250 × 100	Type: Rock Type: Granite	Quarry	significant	Landscape protection area, nature park
Former granite quarry N of Laufmühle		271A014	Metten position	Front Bavarian Forest	The rock, which is largely weathered on the surface, is a coarse-grained, muscovite-bearing central granite of the Metten granite massif. A silting pond lies on the bottom of the quarry. The walls of the quarry are no longer accessible.	800 40 × 20	Type: Rock Type: Granite	Quarry	significant	Landscape protection area, nature park
Maxfelsen WSW from Hackermühle	more pictures	271A015	Deggendorf position	Front Bavarian Forest	The rock face made of pearl gneiss is approx. 15 meters high and shows steep layers. Individual blocks of biotite-rich gneiss are integrated into the layer structure. A plaque commemorating the presence of Max II on July 11, 1849 is attached to the rock.	32 8 × 4	Type: Type of rock, rock wall / slope Type: Gneiss	Slope crack / rock wall	significant	Natural monument, landscape protection area, nature park
Road outcrops Ruselstraße SW from Oberglasschleife		271A016	Deggendorf position	Front Bavarian Forest	In this area the transition from pearl gneiss to homogeneous migmatite (paragranodiorite) can be found, which was formed by anatexis from pearl gneiss. Some of the feldspars are still pearly and the relics of calcium silicate rocks, gneisses and amphibolites have also been adopted. The outcrops have grown very strongly in the meantime.	1200 300 × 4	Type: Rock Type: Gneiss, Diorite	embankment	significant	Landscape protection area, nature park
Gneiss exposure on the B533 N from Gneisting		271A018	Hunding position	Front Bavarian Forest	Gneiss has been cut into the embankment of the B533 near the road bend. A large number of metamorphic structural features can be observed in the outcrop: Almost directionless pearl gneiss in close alternation with gneisses with clearly layered structure, folds and discordances in the layer structure, embedded relic clods, quartz knuckles, veins, low mineralization (pyrite).	3000 200 × 15	Type: Metamorphic structure, type of rock, minerals Type: Gneiss, calcium silicate rock	embankment	precious	Landscape protection area, nature park
Granite outcrop on the B533 W from Wannersdorf		271A019	Grattersdorf position	Front Bavarian Forest	Kaußinger Granite, a fine-grained, biotite-rich granite is cut into the main road. The outcrop shows applitic dikes and inclusions of foreign clods, e.g. B. dioritic lenses. Harness surfaces indicate tectonic stress. The degree of weathering increases towards the surface of the terrain. The granite is buried. The decomposition zones penetrate deep into the fresher rock areas at faults.	2250 150 × 15	Type: Rock Type: Granite, Crystalline Grus	embankment	precious	Landscape protection area, nature park
Gravel and sand pit on Forchenhügel NE of Maign		271A020	Aussernzell position	Passau Forest	The gravel and sand pit opens up early Tertiary river sediments (Pliocene) from an ancient Danube. The river ran here more northerly than today's Danube. The gravels overlay the brown coal Tertiary (Miocene) of the Hengersberger Bucht, which reaches into the crystalline from the west. In the pit, an alternating sequence of quartz-rich gravel and sand is cut, partly recognizable as channel fillings. Halfway up, a conglomerate band (solidified by iron hydroxide) runs through the pit.	5000 100 × 50	Type: sequence of layers, sediment structures Type: gravel, sand	Gravel pit / sand pit	significant	Nature reserve, landscape protection area, FFH area
Flintsbach brick and lime kiln with limestone quarry		271G001	Winemaker position	Passau Forest	The focal point of the ensemble, which has been a listed building since 1975, is the furnace building built in 1883 with the original ring furnace. Up until the end of operations in 1968, both bricks and lime were burned here. The raw material for the brick production came from a pit directly to the north of the kiln building, while the limestone to the northeast of it was mined in a quarry (geotope no. 271A006), which until then had been mined for over 1000 years. The technical monument was restored a few years ago and expanded into a brick and lime museum with an open-air area (e.g. brick drying plant, always accessible) and exhibition halls. An educational trail provides additional information with a focus on soil science.	1000 50 × 20	Type: Kiln / Brickyard, Lime Kiln, Quarry / Pit Type: Limestone	Quarry	precious	Natural park
Mining tracks in Hunding		271G002	Hunding position	Front Bavarian Forest	The former mining in Hunding (mining symbol in the municipal coat of arms) is the only known mining area in the district of Deggendorf. A silver-bearing lead luster mineralization was mined in a quartz vein. The adjacent rock is pearl gneiss, accompanying minerals of the mineralization include calcite, siderite, zinc blende, pyromorphite, cerussite, pyrite. Mining was first mentioned in 1562. The pits have been open since the end of the 19th century.

Sauloch Gorge NW of Tattenberg	more pictures	271R001	Deggendorf position	Front Bavarian Forest	The Kerbtal is cut like a gorge up to 200 meters deep in some sections by the strong relief on the southern slope of the Front Bavarian Forest. In the upper section of the valley, on the south-west exposed side of the valley, under periglacial conditions, an extensive sea of ​​boulders was created. T. is still in motion.	400000 1000 × 400	Type: Kerbtal, Blockstrom Type: Gneiss, granite	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	precious	Landscape protection area, nature park
Schützinger Berg S from Schützing		271R002	Shovel position	Front Bavarian Forest	The small summit cliff made of pearl gneiss testifies to the Pleistocene erosion in the periglacial area. A weak block scattering can be found in the vicinity.	100 10 × 10	Type: Ridge Type: Gneiss	Rock slope / cliff	significant	Natural monument, landscape protection area, nature park
Pulpit NW of Nemering		271R003	Shovel position	Front Bavarian Forest	The flat, only slightly raised summit cliffs made of paragranodiorite (a medium-grain anatectic rock) were created from pearl gneiss. The pulpit closes off a flat mountain spur with a steeper slope to the south. In the vicinity of the summit cliffs there is a mostly tree-covered sea of ​​boulders.	75 15 × 5	Type: rocky dome, sea of rocks Type: granodiorite	Rock slope / cliff	significant	Natural monument, landscape protection area, nature park
Cliff at the Büchelstein W of Kerschbaum		271R004	Grattersdorf position	Front Bavarian Forest	The summit area of ​​the Bichelstein consists of pearl gneisses that plunge flat to the north. The plateau-like summit breaks off steeply to the south. These imposing summit cliffs are the result of Pleistocene erosion, during which deep tertiary weathering layers were removed down to the solid rock. A wide panoramic view is possible from the small summit plateau. The summit is a popular hang-glider take-off point.	250 25 × 10	Type: Ridge Type: Gneiss	Rock slope / cliff	significant	Landscape protection area, nature park
Summit of Vogelsang (Klosterstein) NW of Vogelsang	more pictures	271R005	Bernried position	Front Bavarian Forest	The elongated summit cliff consists of cordierite-bearing pearl gneiss. A larger block field borders to the south. Summit cliff and block field are evidence of the Pleistocene weathering.	1200 80 × 15	Type: rocky hilltop, sea boulder Type: gneiss	Rock slope / cliff	significant	Natural monument, landscape protection area, FFH area
Terrace between Niederpöring and Aholming		271R006	Aholming position	Dungau	Between Niederpöring and Aholming there is a clear, mostly tree-lined terrace edge. The distinctive relief form in the low-relief Gaulandschaft is a worm-glacial to Holocene erosion terrace of the Isar in Riss-Ice Age gravel. East of Alttiefenberg and west of Aholming, the edge traces fossil river meanders (former impact slopes).	80000 4000 × 20	Type: terrace, impact slope Type: gravel	no information	significant	FFH area, bird sanctuary
Danube high bank between Irlbach and Wischlberg		271R007	Stephansposching position	Dungau	The recent Danube cuts through cracked glacial high terrace gravel. Due to the expansion of the river, the former bank of the Danube became almost inactive. The slope is graduated again near Wischlburg. At Wischlburg, the edge of the terrace extends into the side valley.	40000 1000 × 40	Type: Impact slope, terrace Type: Gravel	no information	significant	Landscape component, FFH area, bird sanctuary
Bachtal NW of Wischlburg		271R008	Stephansposching position	Dungau	An example of the typical form of valley formation in the periglacial area of ​​the Würmglacial and the Holocene: Talgenesis is mainly characterized by extensive erosion of flowing earth in the Würmglacial. In the lower reaches, the valley floor cuts the groundwater table of the high terrace gravel, so that springs emerge on the valley flanks. Stream erosion created low terraces above the valley floor.	80000 400 × 200	Type: Terrace, Constriction Source Type: Gravel	no information	significant	FFH area, bird sanctuary
Natternberg W from Deggendorf	more pictures	271R009	Deggendorf position	Dungau	It is a relic of the mountain foot surface (pediment surface) of the Bavarian Forest. The Zeugenberg was created by the erosion of the Pleistocene Danube. This also explains the shape and orientation according to the direction of flow and the location of the tectonic structure of the rock. The rock is exposed through several mining sites.	175000 700 × 250	Type: Inselberg / Zeugenberg Type: Mylonite	no information	significant	Natural monument, FFH area, bird sanctuary
Regensburger Stein NW from Oberhirschberg		271R010	Bernried position	Front Bavarian Forest	The rocky knoll made of pearl gneiss is located on the steep southern slope of the Upper Bavarian Forest. The tertiary weathering crust was eroded in the Pleistocene, especially in exposed areas, and craggy rock forms were created by frost weathering.	1500 50 × 30	Type: Ridge Type: Gneiss	Rock slope / cliff	significant	Natural monument, landscape protection area, FFH area
Geiersberg near Deggendorf		271R011	Deggendorf position	Front Bavarian Forest	The steep western flank of the Geiersberg goes back to a Pleistocene impact slope of the Danube. In small outcrops (e.g. behind the church on the footpath from the cemetery to the Marien-Pilfahrtskirche on Geiersberg) fine-grained, biotite-rich granite is exposed. Perl gneiss can be found in the vicinity of road cuts, some of which is heavily weathered (gneiss substitute).	100000 500 × 200	Type: Impact slope, rock type: Granite, gneiss	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	significant	Natural monument, landscape protection area, nature park
Meander arch Gundelau SE from Niederalteich		271R012	Niederalteich position	Dungau	The Gundelau represents an exemplary meander curve of the Danube. Built from the central meander body, the accompanying channel and the undercut by a younger river course. This meander arch was still active in the Middle Ages. The arch is traced in the area of ​​the Old Danube by dykes of the flood exposure and is therefore very easy to recognize.	2800000 2000 × 1400	Type: Meander Type: silt, sand, gravel	no information	precious	no protected area
