List of geotopes in the Landsberg am Lech district

This list contains the geotopes of the Upper Bavarian district of Landsberg am Lech 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.

Tufa wall in Dießen		181A002	Dießen am Ammersee position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	The tufa wall is partially grown and serves as the house foundation. The tufa was mined earlier.	180 30 × 6	Type: Rock type, sinter formation Type: Tufa limestone	Quarry	significant	no protected area
Interglacial calcareous sintering E von Hurlach		181A004	Hurlach position	Iller-Lech region	In the profile, diverse spring limes are formed with a species-poor but individual mollusc fauna. They differ from the frequent postglacial calcareous sinter formations in the Alpine foothills in their interglacial age. They were exposed by the recent deep erosion on the Lech slope.	200 200 × 1	Type: Sinter formation, Animal fossils, Vegetable fossils Type: Tufa, gravel	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	especially valuable	Landscape protection area, FFH area
Lechprallhang NE from Mundraching		181A005	Vilgertshofen position	Iller-Lech region	On the impressive Lech impact slope, large landslides occur again and again, in which the Upper Freshwater Molasse and the overlying gravel are exposed.	10000 200 × 50	Type: Sequence of layers, impact slope Type: Marlstone, gravel	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	significant	Landscape protection area, FFH area, bird sanctuary
Toteiskessel NW of Memming	more pictures	181R001	Hofstetten position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	The large trough-like depression has partly steep, partly flat edges up to about 8 m high.

In the deepest is a pond that may have been artificially deepened.	5000 100 × 50	Type: Dead ice hole, end (wall) moraine Type: moraine	no information	significant	no protected area
Dead ice kettle Sandbergweiher SW of Dießen	more pictures	181R002	Dießen am Ammersee position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	The dead ice kettle is located in the wall moraine of the inner terminal moraine. The edge of the pond was artificially raised.	4000 80 × 50	Type: Dead ice hole, end (wall) moraine Type: moraine	no information	significant	Part of the landscape, FFH area
Erratic block in Thaining	more pictures	181R003	Thaining position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	The boulder made of coarse-grained (molasse) sandstone lies on the forecourt of the church. It shows typical fracture structures as well as scratches and cuts.	3 2 × 2	Type: Boulder Type: Sandstone	block	inferior	no protected area
Toteisloch SE from Ramsach	more pictures	181R004	Penzing position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	The kettle is located between the Ramsacher and Schöffeldinger terminal moraine. It can only be made out indistinctly because it is flat and silted up.	30000 200 × 150	Type: Dead Ice Hole Type: Moraine	no information	significant	Natural monument
Moränensee NW from Unterfinning	more pictures	181R006	Finning position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	The silted up lake basin is surrounded by steep edges. According to Schäfer, it is a moraine lake.	37500 250 × 150	Type: Terminal moraine lake Type: Moraine	no information	significant	Natural monument
Toteisloch Egelsee E from Hagenheim	more pictures	181R007	Hofstetten position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	In wet years the groundwater is available in the large, tub-shaped dead ice hole (it is then used as a bathing pond). The edges are up to 8 m high, partly steep, partly flat. From the south a wide came protrudes like a finger into the dead ice hole.	60000 300 × 200	Type: Dead Ice Hole Type: Moraine	no information	significant	Natural monument
Terminal moraine Vogelberg N from Geltendorf		181R008	Geltendorf position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	The outer Würm terminal moraine is only preserved in remnants, but there in its typical shape with a flat northern and steeper southern slope.	80000 400 × 200	Type: End (wall) moraine Type: Moraine	no information	significant	Natural monument
Lechufer E from Kinsau		181R009	Apple village position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	Much of the slope of the Lech is difficult to access. Various Quaternary gravel and moraines are exposed, especially on slippery slopes. The lower part of the slope is formed by marls of the Upper Freshwater Molasse, which act as water reservoirs. Numerous springs emerge above the marl, below which tufa limestone has partially deposited.	50000 1000 × 50	Type: Impact slope, layer sequence Type: moraine, marlstone	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	significant	Nature reserve, natural monument, landscape protection area
Tuff wall in the 'Teufelsküche' S of Landesberg		181R010	Landsberg am Lech position	Iller-Lech region	Spring outlets at the boundary between the gravel and the Upper Freshwater Molasse led to the deposition of a tufa wall up to 5 m thick. Smaller landslides are fixed by tufa limestone. In the area there are other smaller tufa walls and individual outcrops on landslides.	250 25 × 10	Type: Sinter formation, layer source Type: Tufa, marlstone	no information	significant	Landscape reserve, bird sanctuary
Landslide on the Lechufer SW of Reichling		181R011	Reichling position	Iller-Lech region	The landslide is around 100 m wide and 30 m high and offers a magnificent outcrop that is hardly accessible from close up. The landslide is related to the impact slope of the Lechschleife. In the neighborhood there are still numerous older, inactive landslides and outcrops of Upper Freshwater Molasse.	20000 200 × 100	Type: landslide, layer sequence Type: moraine, gravel	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	precious	Landscape protection area, FFH area, bird sanctuary
Lech-Prallhang near Kaufering		181R012	Kaufering position	Iller-Lech region	The upper freshwater molasse / high terrace gravel border is open on the rebound slope. Depending on the water level, the outcrop is difficult to access.	5000 250 × 20	Type: Impact slope, type of layers : gravel, marlstone	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	significant	Landscape protection area, FFH area
Upper Riedberg W from Stoffersberg		181R013	Igling position	Iller-Lech region	The stratigraphic position of the Stoffersberg is not yet certain (Danube time or Biber time). On the hilltop you can find overgrown mines. Important information from classical Pleistocene research.	60000 600 × 100	Type: Inselberg / Zeugenberg, type of layer sequence : gravel	no information	precious	no protected area
Terrace stairs S from Apfeldorf	more pictures	181R014	Apple village position	Iller-Lech region	To the south of Apfeldorf, one can marvel at an exemplary terrace staircase on the Lech. Several Worm Ice Age and Holocene terraces of different heights and widths follow one another. The worm-age moraine walls protrude from the uppermost terrace level.	800000 1000 × 800	Type: terrace, impact slope, end (wall) moraine Type: gravel, moraine	no information	precious	no protected area
Steinerne gutter S from Kaufering	more pictures	181R015	Kaufering position	Iller-Lech region	Two small springs emerge on the terrace to the south and west of St. Leonhard, below which tufa limestone is deposited. Small stone gutters have formed. It is interesting that some of the gutters continue on the level below the terrace level, parallel to its course.	100 100 × 1	Type: Stone gutter Type: Tufa limestone	no information	significant	Natural monument, landscape protection area, FFH area
