Former gravel pit on Steinleite W of Landshut 274A001 Altdorf
position 		Danube-Isar hill country The 35 m high outcrop shows a profile of the northern full gravel with sands, silts, marls and gravels, some of which are baked into nail flukes and contain individual iron hydroxide bands. There are new buildings in front of the outcrop wall. Only the lowest part of the partially overgrown and collapsed exposure wall is accessible. 1500

Gravel pit on the Kaltellerberg SW of Mettenbach 274A003 Essenbach
position 		Danube-Isar hill country In the outcrop there is a marl horizon widespread in the Landshut area within the northern full gravel (up to 2 m thick). This grips discordantly over an erosion relief of the horizontally, sometimes diagonally layered gravel. From the surface, deep, clay-filled pockets of weathering dig into the gravel, which overlay the marl horizon. The outcrop begins to grow (2003). 600

Former Tiefenbach gravel pit 274A004 Tiefenbach
position 		Isar-Inn hill country Most of the former gravel pit has collapsed and overgrown, and the remaining outcrops are difficult to access. Gravel from the northern full gravel was extracted, the outcrops showed a typical sedimentation pattern with cross and inclined stratification, conglomerate and sandstone layers. Reuter blocks were also described from the break, foreign Malmkalk lumps that are associated with the Ries event or volcanic activity. 800

Former gravel pit Großmaulberg SE from Vilsbiburg 274A008 Vilsbiburg
position 		Isar-Inn hill country The sediments exposed in the former gravel pit are placed in the Moldanubian series of the Upper Upper Freshwater Molasse. The pit is completely overgrown apart from two smaller outcrops. In the past, cylindrical cavities in the sediment could be seen on the former excavation wall in sloping sands (feldspar and biotite leading, with iron hydroxide impregnation), which indicated that driftwood had been stored. A leaf flora was found in clay lenses. 2400

Former gravel pit on Klausenberg W von Achdorf 274A009 Tiefenbach
position 		Paar-Isar region The outcrop in the higher part of the Northern Full Gravel with a boulder spectrum of quartz, limestone, crystalline rocks and clastic and pebbly sediments shows the typical sedimentation pattern of a Miocene river system with an alpine catchment area. A tooth fragment of an elephant-like (Gomphotherium) was found in the rubble. The former pit wall has now largely collapsed and overgrown. Information can only be found in the uppermost area. 1600

Doberlöcher W from Eck 274G001 Kröning
position 		Isar-Inn hill country In the area there are shallow pits as evidence of a former clay mining. Clays from the hanging wall series of the Upper Freshwater Molasse were mined for use as a ceramic raw material. The clays formed the basis of a pottery trade that flourished for centuries in the area of ​​the Kröning (Kröninger Hafnerware) and of small farm brickworks. The clays were deposited in still water areas (backwaters, small lakes and ponds at the edge of rivers) and are designed as small-scale lenses. 3000

Hill slide on Enzelsberg (Schlösselberg NE from Hüttenkofen) 274R001 Niederaichbach
position 		Paar-Isar region The 50 m wide landslide on the Isar steep slope developed on a marl horizon, which was additionally moistened by the springs attached to it. At the demolition niche, the sediments (gravel, sand, marl) of the northern gravel are still exposed. However, the outcrop is growing over and difficult to reach. The landslide masses appear as bulges. The unsettled relief of the slope indicates that landslides have taken place here more often. 4000

High Burg NE of Wolfsbach 274R002 Niederaichbach
position 		Paar-Isar region Northern full gravel is on the steep valley flank (former impact slope) of the Isar valley. The gravel sequence consists of an alternating sequence of gravel and sand, in which marl is also included. The marls at the level of the betonite horizon have increased contents of swellable clay minerals, which favors landslides. Below the castle stables, the sediments are exposed on a several meter high edge of a landslide. 20000

Terraces in the Aichbachtal near Reichersdorf 274R003 Niederaichbach
position 		Isar-Inn hill country Above the current course of the stream, three terrace levels can be distinguished in the Aichbachtal between Wimm and Niederaichbach. The three terrace levels (late worm period to sub-recent) can be parallelized with terraces in the Isar valley, the old town (late worm period), the Lerchenfeld (Roman period to early medieval) and the alluvial forest level (sub-recent, 19th / 20th century). 12000

Terrace S by Ried 274R004 Bruckberg
position 		Danube-Isar hill country The Isar valley between Moosburg and to the east of Landshut is accompanied on the left by leveling areas that are clearly set off from the tertiary hill country, the cracked glacial high terrace. This high terrace is particularly striking between Bruckberg and Gündlkofen. Compared to the late-worm glacial and Holocene Isartal soils, it forms a strikingly high terrain level there. At Ried, the edge of the terrace traces the meander loop of an earlier course of the Isar as a rebound slope. 6000

Schwalbengraben E from Niederaichbach 274R005 Niederaichbach
position 		Isar-Inn hill country The Schwalbengraben is a steep-walled brook valley, cut into the right bank of the Isar, which is formed as a Kerbtal in the upper reaches and as a Kerbsohlental in the lower reaches. The stream is fed by several permanent and periodic sources. In the upper reaches, the gravel of the upper freshwater molasse is exposed in some places due to erosion on impact slopes. In the lower reaches an alluvial cone has formed through gravel up to the Isar floodplain. The stream seeps away here in its own gravel bed. 60000

Southern Isar valley slope NE of Landshut 274R006 Niederaichbach
position 		Paar-Isar region The partial erosion slope on the Isar valley was created during the Pleistocene (possibly from the Mindel glacial period). There are no cold-age terrace sediments. These were probably completely cleared out during the Würm glacial period. The steep slope is largely in northern gravel. Stratified springs emerge on marl and silt horizons, sometimes with limestone tufa deposits (e.g. river km 57.2 and 57.8 [= 274R007]). On the steep valley slopes, landslides occur again and again. 50000

Tufa formations on the Kellerberg NE of Niederaichbach 274R007 Niederaichbach
position 		Paar-Isar region Several small brooks arise from a stratified spring (wide outlet zone, with an old spring socket), where tufa limestone is excreted. Both wall-like and flat tufa formations occur. Sometimes they form channels in which the water flows off. The tufa cushions are up to 1 m thick. Both organic and inorganic processes play a role in the precipitation of lime from the groundwater. Mosses and algae are involved in building up the tuff. 20

Gravel bank for gold mining on the Isar near Niederaichbach 274R008 Niederaichbach
position 		Paar-Isar region Below the Kellerberg east of Niederaichbach, a headland has been preserved in the straightened and diked Isar. The comparison with the first recording from the 19th century shows that this is the relic of a gravel bank that was located in the middle of the then untamed Isar. Reports about the gold panning process on the Isar and about gold panners based in Goldern - 2 km south - make it probable that the precious metal was also panned at this gravel bank after the annual spring floods. Traces of it are of course no longer preserved. With the straightening of the course of the river for land reclamation and flood protection from the end of the 19th century, the landings of gravel and soap gold ended, and gold panning also ended. In the agriculturally used or built-up floodplain north of the Isar, the old river meanders can still be seen today in the digital terrain model from laser scan data. 12000

Isar rapids seven ribs near Bruckbergerau Seven ribs (Bruckberg) .jpg 274R009 Bruckberg
position 		Paar-Isar region To the west of the motorway bridge, the Isar flows through striking rapids caused by conglomerate ribs in the river bed. The tertiary molasse gravel is solidified into conglomerate here. This is possibly related to the fault zone of the Landshut-Neuöttinger demolition underground. This is the only place on the Middle and Lower Isar where the river bed consists of solid rock. At river km 87.4 there is an information board next to the cycle path on the northern bank. Here you can also take a path down to the shore. 9000
