List of geotopes in the Munich district

This list contains the geotopes of the Upper Bavarian District of Munich 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.

Baierbrunn climbing garden	more pictures	184A001	Baierbrunn position	Paar-Isar region	In the area of ​​the climbing garden, high-terrace gravel is laid over solidified gravel ( Nagelfluh ) from the Günz to Minde Ice Age. Low terrace gravel is just west of it. Geological organs and paleo floors are clearly recognizable . The outcrop is one of the key points in Ice Age research.	3000 300 × 10	Type: Standard / Reference Profile, Fossil Soil, Layer Sequence, Geological Organ Type: Conglomerate	Slope crack / rock wall	especially valuable	Landscape protection area, FFH area	Bavaria's most beautiful geotopes No. 18
Outcrop on the Baierbrunn landslide	more pictures	184A002	Baierbrunn position	Paar-Isar region	The landslide (1979) created an approx. 28 meter high steep slope made of middle to old Pleistocene gravel, some of which are baked into Nagelfluh. Over a width of 75 meters, a channel is filled with residual gravel and fine sediment. The gravel is superimposed here, in contrast to the Riß-Iller-Lech areas, which is why the outcrop should be viewed as a very rare occurrence.	2500 250 × 10	Type: Sequence of layers, sediment structures, landslide Type: Conglomerate	Slope crack / rock wall	especially valuable	Landscape protection area, FFH area
Former Deisenhofen quarry	more pictures	184A003	Oberhaching position	Paar-Isar region	In the quarry there are gravel baked in to Nagelfluh. Immediately below the top of the pit, geological organs with a filling of weathered clay and stones dig several meters deep into the gravel. A separating layer with fine-grain sandstone indicates a sedimentation interruption between two beds. The outcrop is part of a profile that serves as a guide profile for structuring the Munich gravel plain.	2400 150 × 16	Type: Layer sequence, geological organ Type: Conglomerate	Quarry	especially valuable	Landscape protection area
Gleißental SW of Deisenhofen	more pictures	184R002	Oberhaching position	Paar-Isar region	The now dry valley was eroded by the meltwater flow from the glacier gate of the Deininger glacier globe (part of the Loisach glacier).	400000 2000 × 200	Type: Schmelzwassertal Type: Moraine, gravel	no information	precious	Landscape protection area
Georgenstein E from Baierbrunn	more pictures	184R004	Grünwalder forest position	Paar-Isar region	The Georgenstein is a large block of gravel that has been torn from the eastern slope of the Isar and slipped into the river bed on the underlying clayey-marl-like tertiary layers ( Miocene ). The Nagelfluhblock is provided with the statue of St. George.	70 10 × 7	Type: Boulder Type: Blocks	block	precious	Landscape protection area, FFH area
Bachschwinde Gleißental SE from Großdingharting	more pictures	184R005	Straßlach-Dingharting position	Isar-Loisach young moraine region	The Gleißental is an approximately 40 m deep meltwater channel cut into Mindel gravel from the Isar glacier and today forms a dry valley. The Gleißenbach seeps away after a few hundred meters. This creek shrinkage can also be traced morphologically over a distance of about 200 m by means of increasingly flat and indistinct undercut edges.	4000 200 × 20	Type: Stream shrink Type: Moraine, gravel	no information	precious	Landscape protection area
