Show mine (in development) Deisenrieder Wetterstollen 182G002 Fischbachau
position
Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion The Deisenried weather tunnel was started in 1953 to ventilate the Hausham coal mine. In 1956 the breakthrough from the Deisenried tunnel to the 3rd level of the Hausham pit took place and the fan was put into operation the following year. It discharged the air from the tunnel and thus sucked in fresh air through the mine building via the lift shaft at Hausham, 12 km away. With the cessation of the Haushamer coal mining and after dismantling work, the last shift ran over the tunnel in October 1966. It was partially backfilled and sealed until 1977. Since 2006 it has been re-opened to give the public access to a show mine in the future. Please send inquiries about the status of the development to the Fischbachau community, Tel. 08028 / 9066-0. The tunnel crosses 44 m Quaternary, then 21 m marine building block layers of the Oligocene made of sandstones and conglomerates. This is followed by limnic, brackish and marine deposits of sandstones and clay marls. At a tunnel length of 290 m, the 80 cm thick small coal seam is exposed. 2400

Sulfur water source of the stinker ditch SW of Bad Wiessee 182Q001 Bad Wiessee
position
Mangfall Mountains The Stinkergraben got its name from the smell of hydrogen sulphide that stings on the nose again and again on the hiking trail through the valley. If you follow the stream upwards in search of the source, you will notice that hydrogen sulfide is evidently always released where the stream water bubbles over gradients and bright white biofilms cover stones or branches. The conspicuous biofilms are communities of different microorganisms. They sometimes form long threads (filaments, streamers) and - like elsewhere - are likely to consist mainly of hydrogen sulfide oxidizing bacteria. The spring water has high sulphate, hydrogen sulphide and strontium contents. The hydrogen sulfide content of the spring water comes from the anaerobic bacterial reduction of sulfate. The sulphate comes from the gypsum of the Raibl Formation, which Gümbel (1861) discovered near the source and had it excavated in an experimental building under massive debris. The sulphurous water source with a dilapidated wooden frame is found at 1,100 m below the hiking trail, where a stone-filled box lies in the path. 400

Mangfallknie NW of Westerham 182R022 Valley
position
Paar-Isar region The Mangfallknie with the Untere Teufelsgraben in the west and the beginning of the Grub-Harthausen Dry Valley in the north impressively reveal the late glacial history of the river on the edge of the Inn glacier. First of all, the drainage to the north took place through the now dry Grub-Harthausen Schmelzwassertal (Ur-Mangfall). After the glaciers melted back, the Mangfall was diverted to the southeast in the direction of the steeper gradient. As a result, it cut like a gorge. The Teufelsgraben flows into this gorge at Mangfallknie. It represents the former drainage channel of the Tölzer Lobus of the Isar glacier. The best view of the situation of the Mangfallknee is from the level crossing below Grub. Other striking objects are the pipe bridge of the old Munich water supply and an outcrop on the bank of the Mangfall east of the bridge at Grubmühle, which shows that the Mangfall has cut down to the molasses sediments below the Quaternary gravel. 4860000

Marienstollen and former quarry of the Marienstein cement works 182A001 Waakirchen
position
Isar-Loisach young moraine region In 1835, cement marls were found near today's Marienstein and in 1850 a cement factory was opened. Pitch coal was extracted from the Barbarastollen for the plant's own use. In 1885 the Marienstollen, from which cement stone was extracted, was approached. These were so-called stink stones, bituminous marl and limestone marl stones from molasses. Later, cement marl - marl stones of the Helveticum - were extracted from the tunnel, which was ultimately 2,000 m long. Most recently, the cement works obtained its raw material from a large quarry on the Bacheralm - 700 m south of the entrance to the Marienstollen. There, marl stones of the ultra-Helvetian marl series were mined. The closed and weathered entrance portal of the Marienstollen can still be found south of the old factory premises. The geological profile of the tunnel is enclosed with the explanations of the geological map. Up in the recultivated quarry, the marl stones of the marl series are only exposed at one point. 6000

Clay marl layers on the Leitzach S von Drachenthal 182A019 Fischbachau
position
Paar-Isar region About 80 m east of the new bridge over the Leitzach, and visible from it, there are layers of clay marl on the slope of the Leitzach and in the river bed of the Lower Oligocene. They contain large and thick-skinned molluscs, but they disintegrate quickly when they dry out. Where the clay marl layers on the bank were washed away in summer 2018 (Fig. 2), a year later there was a wild landslide (Fig. 4) - probably not caused by fossil collectors, as was initially feared, but by the spring flood. Immediately to the south-east of this is the slope area, which is now completely overgrown in the lower part, from which Pflaumann & Stephan have recovered a rich fauna on the fresh landslide. The slide is already mentioned by Gümbel (1875). The trailing edge at the top of the slope shows Nagelfluh and gravel moraine over layers of clay marl. 3500

Outcrops in the Rohnbachtal WSW from Wörnsmühl 182A021 Fischbachau
position
Paar-Isar region In the Rohnbachtal, the coal-bearing formations of the Oligocene in the south wing of the Haushamer Mulde are easily accessible. The layers are stored tipped over. Up the Rohnbach, layers from the younger to the older are crossed. The outcrops in the Rohnbachtal are described in the explanations of the geological map (p. 253). From the confluence of the Rohnbach into the Leitzach upwards, sandstone and marl stone banks alternate between fossil-bearing brackish and limnic horizons with pitch coal seams. The seams are not noticeable, but bits of pitch coal can be found in the stream. About 500 m from the beginning of the valley, beautiful moss-covered tufa cascades are formed on the southern slope of the valley. Behind a building on the way is an old cement quarry. At the object point there is an approx. 20 cm thick coal seam directly on the stream. 90 m up the stream, there are reservoir sediments - finely layered silts - on the north side. Another 300 m upwards near the third ford on the map, the coal seam should be in the stream and in a side ditch. But even here there are only bits of pitch coal in the streambed. 40000

Nagelfluh via Molasse am Moosbach SE from Valley 182A022 Weyarn
position
Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion To the east of the confluence of the Moosbach into the Mangfall, sandy marls of the Upper Freshwater Molasse under the at least-period Nagelfluh can only be reached without a path. The Nagelfluh forms impressively high walls from which the gravel weather and rubble slopes form at the foot of the wall. Only in the very east have the gravels not yet covered the underlying marls of the OSM, or rather the impact slope of the Moosbach keeps the outcrop free. The water-retaining and softly weathering marls are also the reason for blocks of the overlying Nagelfluh to slide along the entire wall towards the west. In such an exposed wall above large fall blocks in the Nagelfluh exposed weathering vents, similar to geological organs, can be seen.

Molasse of the Kaltenbachgraben ENE von Miesbach 182A024 Irschenberg
position
Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion In 1875 Gümbel wrote about the extremely impassable Kaltenbach, which offers by far the best and most productive outcrop in these strata - what is meant is the Upper Sea Molasse. The Kaltenbachgraben is not that impassable (anymore) - rather its side ditches - but it has retained its importance as an important outcrop in the Upper Marine Molasse through further processing - above all by Hölzl in 1958. The upper sea molasse begins about 200 m downstream from the object point as an alternating sequence of marls and sands with a rich fauna. Fossils are also found not far up the ditch branching off to the SW from the object point (Fig. 1). However, these originate from the main Cyrene layers of the lower brackish water molasse beyond a thrust. And upstream from the object point there are gray marls of the lower sea molasses (Fig. 2), from which fossil-rich rubble (Fig. 3) in the stream could come. Lime-separating spring water has left beautiful leaf marks in the limestone tuff nearby (Fig. 4). 60000

Source of the Quirinus oil in Bad Wiessee 182G004 Bad Wiessee
position
Mangfall Mountains In 1441 a strip of floating oil was discovered on the Tegernsee. He was followed to a spring above the Rohbogen courtyard. There a crude oil leaked out, which was subsequently bottled by the Tegernsee monastery for centuries and sold as healing Quirinus oil. The Quirins Chapel was built at the point of the source outlet. The oil was siphoned off by locals from other wells and used as heating oil and lubricating oil. Today no more oil escapes here, because from 1838-1840 the Bavarian state tried to extract oil in shafts and tunnels and from 1882 onwards, drilling for oil was started here in Bavaria for the first time. The numerous wells that were sunk in the first oil boom in Bavaria caused the spring to dry up. In the ditch below the chapel there are shiny films on spring water, but of iron and not of oil. Only on the Tegernsee below are there occasionally small oil films that come from leaking crude oil. According to the drilling results, the oil comes from the Flysch / Helvetikum thrust area, but the bedrock could also be in the thrust molasses. 25

Spring pots on the Leitzach S of Osterhofen 182Q002 Bayrischzell
position
Mangfall Mountains At the foot of the Seeberg, groundwater emerges from the debris cone. The geological map shows a boggy area with Late Worm to Holocene basin silts and clays. The source situation can perhaps best be explained in such a way that groundwater from the Seeberg cannot pass directly from the rubble into the valley gravel as elsewhere, but is dammed on the basin silts and forced to escape. Some of the groundwater emerges in springs, beautiful but also ascending in spring pools. The area is a valuable biotope with rare plant species. 43750

Dolines and ponors on the Breitenstein E of Fischbachau 182R023 Fischbachau
position
Mangfall Mountains In the alpine area up on the Breitenstein there are several sinkholes, one of which is circular and filled with water. The alpine farmer tells of how years ago he heard an unusual noise while working and then discovered that the sinkhole had emptied. In the opening at the bottom of the sinkhole, water is said to have rushed like a river and no impact was heard from stones thrown into it. The hole was closed with a stone and sealed so that a pond could again be dammed up for drinking cattle. The geological map shows a partly scaled strip of Raibl formation with sandstones, limestone and Rauhwacken in the steep Wetterstein limestone. It extends as a depression from W to E to behind the Hubertushütte. There are other small sinkholes and swallow holes (ponors). It cannot be decided whether the gypsum solution in the Raibl Formation was involved in the formation of the hollow form or whether it is purely due to karstification of limestone (in the Raibl Formation and Wetterstein limestone). WE disturbances will have prepared the waterway. 5600

Jenbach waterfalls in the Flysch S of Bad Feilnbach 182R024 Fischbachau
position
Mangfall Mountains From the hiking car park Oberes Jenbachtal, the Wasserfallsteig can be walked downwards (return upwards on the asphalt road). The inspection requires surefootedness. Caution - the path is dangerous for falling rocks! The path along the Jenbach crosses an alternation of limestone marl stones and limestones of the Kalkgraben formation. The Jenbach waterfall falls on a hard bench. 16000

Großdoline on the Lahnenkopf SW of Schliersee 182R025 Schliersee
position
Mangfall Mountains The deepest sinkholes in the Bavarian Alpine region are located on the Lahnenkopf and further west on the Baumgartenschneid. The sinkhole on the Lahnenkopf can be reached without a path up the slope via the alpine meadows of the Obere Krainsberger Alm. It has a diameter of 90 m and is 20 m on the valley side and 80 m deep on the slope side. The descent to the deepest of the dolines down the steep inner slope requires surefootedness. In the sinkhole there are steep main dolomite and plate limestone. After the explanations of the geological map, the base of the Kössen formation with black marls is also exposed in the sinkhole. The formation of sinkholes to this extent can only be traced back to the gypsum solution in the Raibl formation. The tectonic hollow situation on the Lahnenkopf makes it plausible that the Raibl Formation, which extends further to the north, is here in the deeper subsurface. 9000

Waterfall in Raibler Kalken on Lohbach SW of Rottach-Egern 182R026 Kreuth
position
Mangfall Mountains After we ... had won the country road again, we soon reached the place marked with a special sign, where a separate walking path, off the country road on the right, leads to the waterfall on the Lohbache, which we reached after a quarter of an hour. Although more arid than the other cataracts in the area, the waterfall on the Lohbache is nevertheless one of the most interesting and picturesque, and any stranger susceptible to noble natural beauty would do an injustice to leave it unvisited. This is what it says in a script from 1832. In the first half of the 19th century, it was still a tourist destination and marked with an access path in the first Bavarian image, but today the waterfall has been forgotten and the path overgrown. The waterfall can still be reached on the north side along the Lohbach stream. The little water in the Lohbach rushes down from the core of a vertically positioned fold of Raibler Kalk. 300

Cliff of Nagelfluh SE from Valley 182R027 Weyarn
position
Paar-Isar region A hole in the digital terrain model drew attention to this Nagelfluh block. It is lined with trees and the roots of the tree are still attached to the main rock. But he has already moved away from the main rock within a meter. This incision is the hole in the DTM. Sintering on the parting surface shows that the crevice had opened a long time ago. A moss-free edge area at the bottom of the crevice, on the other hand, seems to be an indication of recent opening movements, just like the tense roots above. Sooner or later the block will peel off completely and fall into the valley. Be careful at the edge of the terrain - risk of falling! 25

Ice crumbling landscape at the Allgau Chapel E von Piesenkam 182R029 Waakirchen
position
Isar-Loisach young moraine region The Allgau Chapel stands on a retreat moraine of the Isar glacier from the Würmzeit period. Its Tölzer Lobus extended with its maximum extent another 3 km further east to the Taubenberg. Here, east of Piesenkam, the digital terrain model shows several successive moraine rings. For larger differences in relief, such as east of the chapel, they are covered with forest. To the west of the chapel they are a bit more dissolved as a ground moraine landscape with forms of ice decay and can then be used for agriculture. 700000
