List of geotopes in the Mühldorf am Inn district
This list contains the geotopes of the Upper Bavarian district of Mühldorf am Inn 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.

Aubenham tertiary world | 183A003 |
Oberbergkirchen position |
Isar-Inn hill country | The abandoned marl pit opened up sediments from the Upper Freshwater Molasse as a raw material for the brick industry. Basal fine and coarse sands alternate with marls, limestone marls and clayey silts towards the hanging wall. Because of the rich plant fossil content, the pit is the type locality of Phytozone OSM-5. In addition to the first description of the genus Fagus (beech) in the Upper Freshwater Molasse, there was evidence of animal fossils of fish, mollusks, insects and deer-like mammals. There is an active pit in the same layers 200 meters to the northwest. The abandoned pit has been recultivated, there are residual outcrops of marl in the northeastern slope, otherwise a tertiary forest has been created here. A nature trail leads through the area. Fossils from the pit are on display in the neighboring school center. The Aubenham tertiary world is one of Bavaria's most beautiful geotopes and is explained on site with a corresponding information board. | 90000 300 × 300 |

Ice crumbling landscape N of Gänsgerbl | 183R008 |
Gars at the Inn position |
Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion | The ice crumbling landscape near Gänsgerbl lies on the terminal moraine of the Kirchseeon retreat stage and presents typical relics of the late Ice Age: At that time, the living (moving) glaciers disappeared, ice masses and blocks separated from them and only later melted as dead ice under the protection of rubble and debris poured over them. What remained were steep-walled or cup-shaped hollow forms. At Gänsgerbl, these so-called dead ice holes are sometimes designed like textbooks. | 108000 360 × 300 |

Impact slope of the Inn NE from Heisting |
|
183R010 |
Polling position |
Inn region | The Inn-Prallhang near Heisting is unobstructed. therefore it is still active and is constantly shifting. This means that fresh outcrops are permanently available. The boundary between molasse sediments and overlying glacial gravel is clearly visible on the impact slope. Near the, in the rocks of the Upper Freshwater Molasse at river kilometer 112, primeval elephants (gomphotheria) and in the low terrace gravel at river kilometer 110 a mammoth tooth were found. Such fossil finds can in principle also be expected in the area of the Heistinger Prallhang. The geotope is used as a local recreation area because of its beauty, its special vegetation (dry grass with pine vegetation) and favorable afternoon and evening tanning. | 48000 800 × 60 |
Type: Impact slope, sequence of layers, animal fossils Type: sand, marl sand, gravel |

Dead ice kettle W from Löfflmoos | 183R011 |
Maitenbeth position |
Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion | The Toteisloch lies in the Würm terminal moraine wall of the Kirchseeon retreat stage. Its steep-edged basin is bordered almost all around by high flanks (up to 40 m). Only to the south does the basin open up with an embankment that is only 10 m high. | 2100 70 × 30 |

Dead ice kettle N by Bachenöd | 183R013 |
Gars at the Inn position |
Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion | The large, swampy dead ice hole with the partly steep edges and heavy vegetation is also interesting as a biotope. It lies in the restless relief of the terminal moraine wall of the Kirchseeon retreat stage. | 5000 100 × 50 |

Kettle SW by Maitenbeth | 183R017 |
Maitenbeth position |

Moraine landscape near Joppenpoint | 183R018 |
Haag in Upper Bavaria position |
Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion | On the outskirts of Joppenpoint there is an area with a strongly hilly relief that does not consist of forest and is therefore particularly easy to recognize. The area is used for agriculture and is partially fenced. However, you have good views from Mühlstraße and from the beginning of Robert-Scherzer-Weg at the upper north-western end of the area. | 30000 200 × 150 |

Tower from Nagelfluh above the barrage Teufelsbruck W von Wang | 183R019 |
Under riding position |
Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion | A rock pillar from Nagelfluh stands directly on a hiking trail high above the Inn, east of the Teufelsbruck barrage. The conglomerate of calcareous cemented gravel shows abundant crystalline components. Würmzeit gravel is seldom cemented to Nagelfluh and in fact no further Nagelfluh can be observed in the gravel along the hiking trail. Perhaps the silty moraine cover over the gravel showed a hole here and seeping lime-rich water formed this column? | 4 2 × 2 |
Type: Rock Tower / Needle Type: Conglomerate |
