List of geotopes in the district of Dingolfing-Landau

This list contains the geotopes of the Lower Bavarian district of Dingolfing-Landau in Bavaria . The list contains the official names and numbers of the Bavarian State Office for the Environment (LfU) as well as their geographical location. This list may not be complete. Around 3,400 geotopes (as of March 2020) are recorded in the Bavarian geotope register. The LfU does not consider some geotopes suitable for publication on the Internet. For example, some objects are not safely accessible or may only be entered to a limited extent for other reasons.

Former Maßendorf gravel pit	more pictures	279A001	Loiching position	Isar-Inn hill country	In the former gravel pit, there is northern full gravel (alternation of gravel and sand) with individual marl layers. The outcrop wall shows sedimentation structures such as channels, inclined stratification and erosion discordances. A conspicuous chalky marl horizon extends over the entire excavation wall about 6–7 m above the floor. In a marl lens, which is likely to have been located just below the bottom of the pit that is still accessible today, a species-poor flora was mainly. Remains of a diverse fauna of small mammals, as well as those of fish, mussels, turtles and crocodiles have been found.	1200 120 × 10	Type: Layer sequence, Animal fossils, Vegetable fossils Type: Gravel, Marl	Gravel pit / sand pit	precious	no protected area
Road outcrop near Landau		279A002	Landau on the Isar position	Dungau	At the road outcrop in Landau, a multi-segmented loess sequence (worm-glacial?) With limestone concretions is exposed over minimum ice age gravel. The uppermost section with gravel and sand containing flowing earth shows late glacial and postglacial deposits. The outcrop is now largely overgrown and partially collapsed.	200 20 × 10	Type: Layer sequence Type: conglomerate, clay	embankment	significant	no protected area
Former clay pit SE from Möding		279A003	Landau on the Isar position	Isar-Inn hill country	In the former brickworks, a 9 m thick loess profile of the crack and Würmglacials was exposed (separated by an interglacial soil formation horizon). The cracked glacial formations are represented by loess loam formed as fossil tundra wet soils, the worm glacial part shows loess and loess loam with basic fluid soils and solifluction discordance. The pit was (temporarily?) Closed in 2001. The sloping walls no longer show any details of the profile.	4000 200 × 20	Type: Sequence of layers, fossil soil Type: Clay	Clay pit / clay pit / marl pit	significant	no protected area
Schlüpfing gravel pit		279A005	Landau on the Isar position	Isar-Inn hill country	In the former gravel pit, a sequence of layers of northern full gravel is exposed. Gravel and sands are covered by horizons of fine-grained sediments (silt marl) and freshwater limestone. The sequence of loess clay and flowing earth is covered. A part of the outcrop walls has collapsed and a good view of parts of the episode can be seen in relatively fresh outcrops at the north end and at the south end of the pit. A motocross race track has been set up in the pit.	2400 120 × 20	Type: sequence of layers, rock type: gravel, sand, marl	Gravel pit / sand pit	precious	no protected area
Source at Schellmühle		279Q001	Mamming position	Isar-Inn hill country	A year-round spring (approx. 10 l / s) rises above the Schellmühle on the steep Isarleite at the foot of the slope within the northern full gravel. Fish ponds are fed with the spring water. Right next to the fenced-in spring niche, gravel partially baked into conglomerate is exposed. The stratified spring probably originates from a water-retaining marl layer within the gravel.	6 3 × 2	Type: Layer source Type: gravel, sand, conglomerate	Slope crack / rock wall	significant	Natural monument, landscape protection area
Steep slope in the Isar valley W of Niederviehbach		279R001	Niederviehbach position	Paar-Isar region	The partial erosion slope on the southern edge of the Isar valley shows a multitude of individual geomorphological forms: B. deeply incised valleys of side streams, numerous landslides, source horizons z. Some with tufa formation and alluvial cones. The slope lies in the northern full gravel. The source horizons are bound to intermediate limnic freshwater layers.	700000 7000 × 100	Type: Prallhang, Kerbtal, layer source Type: Gravel, limestone, tufa	no information	significant	Landscape protection area, FFH area
Valley of the Mamminger Bach SW of Mamming		279R002	Mamming position	Isar-Inn hill country	The valley of the Mamminger Baches is an asymmetrical sole valley with a steep east and flat west side. The valley floor is accompanied by a terrace edge on the western edge. Stratified springs bound to marl and freshwater limestone occur on the east side. In its shape and morphogenesis, the valley is an example of secondary valleys of the main water veins in the periglacial area. The formation as an asymmetrical Mulden valley in the Pleistocene was followed by the transformation into a sole valley since the late glacial.	600000 1500 × 400	Type: Asymmetrical valley, sole valley, stratified source Type: gravel, marl, tufa limestone	no information	significant	no protected area
Teisbachtal S from Teisbach		279R003	Dingolfing position	Isar-Inn hill country	The Teisbachtal shows the cross-section of an asymmetrical valley with steep flanks exposed to the west and flat to the east. On the west side there is a stepped terrace from the confluence in the Isar valley to Oberteisbach. Asymmetrical valleys have been formed by different erosion with soil flow in unglaciated areas, mainly along streams running along NS, shaped by the cold climate. Erosion has transformed the valley into a bottom valley in the post-glacial period.	840000 1200 × 700	Type: Asymmetrical Valley Type: Gravel	no information	significant	no protected area
Growing rock E from Usterling (Johannisfelsen)	more pictures	279R004	Landau on the Isar position	Isar-Inn hill country	Mightiest tufa dam in Bavaria! The impressive stone channel is approx. 35 m long, up to 1.2 m thick and up to 5.4 m high. It was already mentioned by Apian (1579) and depicted on the altarpiece of the Usterlinger church (1520). The Steinerne Rinne lies on a slope that is built up from approx. 20 million year old loose rock of the Upper Freshwater Molasse (OSM). For a long time now, the groundwater has emerged at a point at the boundary between water-bearing gravels and water-retaining marls (calcareous clays). Exact dates for the formation of the tufa formations on the Quellbach are not yet available, but estimates amount to a few thousand years.	35 35 × 1	Type: Stone gutter, layer source Type: Tufa, limestone	no information	precious	Natural monument, FFH area	Bavaria's most beautiful geotopes No. 19
Alluvial fan Rosenau NW from Mamming		279R006	Mamming position	Paar-Isar region	The alluvial fan Rosenau is a flat, Holocene gravel cone, which lies only slightly above the surrounding terrain, but has hardly any surface contact and is clearly delimited from the surrounding agriculturally used valley floodplain by vegetation (poor grassland). The gravel cone probably belongs to older Holocene gravel sequences that were no longer reached by later high water sales. Part of the ballast is disturbed by the railway line and old gravel pits. *	15000 150 × 100	Type: Alluvial fan Type: Gravel	no information	significant	Nature reserve, FFH area
