Former quarries at Geißruck N von Hausermühle		276A010	Zachenberg position	Front Bavarian Forest	In the quarry, medium-grain granite is exposed to contact with anatexites. In the contact area, the granite shows reactions such as the formation of aplit fringe and large potassium feldspar crystals. The anatexites generally have a distinct texture. There are stored e.g. Partly broken and deformed feldspar sparrows. Due to the proximity of the pile, the rock shows clear characteristics of tectonic overprinting. Due to backfilling and recultivation, only part of the quarry has survived.	1200 60 × 20	Type: rock type, contact, metamorphic structure Type: granite, anatexite	Quarry	significant	Landscape protection area, nature park
Former quarry on Hieselberg NW of Hochbruck		276A011	Bischofsmais position	Front Bavarian Forest	In the former quarry on Hieselberg, dark, fine-grain quartz mica diorites are exposed. The diorites are partially traversed by quartz and aplite passages. At the edge of the contact with the host rock (anatectic gneiss), the diorite is accompanied by light granite passages. The structure of the rocks clearly shows a tectonic overprint. The diorites are strikingly textured. The quarry is overgrown and the exposed walls are difficult to access.	1250 50 × 25	Type: Rock Type: Diorite, Granite	Quarry	significant	Natural park
Former quarry at Teufelstisch NW of Bischofsmais		276A012	Bischofsmais position	Front Bavarian Forest	In the former quarry there is medium-grain granite, which usually has a directionless structure, but also weakly textured in layers (parallel to the pile fault). The granite shows a clear fissure. Mineral finds (quartz, feldspar, fluorspar, rutile, etc.) were formerly found on fissures.	3600 120 × 30	Type: Rock Type , Minerals Type: Granite	Quarry	significant	Landscape protection area, nature park

Underground passages in Zwiesel under the town square		276A015	Zwiesel position	Rear Bavarian Forest	The exact age and function of the underground passages (refuge castle?) In the crystal substitute, which were originally several 100 m long and up to 20 m deep, is unknown. The passage under the bakery reveals granite penetrated into the gneiss with pegmatite passages. The crystalline is completely decomposed, but shows the original structure in detail. The corridors can be viewed on guided tours.	50 25 × 2	Type: Type of rock, contact, metamorphic structure, minerals, storage conditions, tunnels Type: Cordierite-sillimanite-gneiss, pegmatite, granite	Tunnel / gallery / shaft	significant	Natural park
Former pegmatite pit NE of Böbrach (Hubertus pegmatite)		276A016	Böbrach position	Rear Bavarian Forest	The Hubertus pegmatite is a zonal pegmatite dike up to about 6 m thick. The beginnings of quartz mining may go back to the end of the 18th century. What has been preserved is a trench-like pinge that merges into underground mining and heaps. In the small underground mine remains of the largely dismantled quartz core of the pegmatite are exposed. In quartz you can see feldspar crystals up to 20 cm in length.	60 12 × 5	Type: minerals, rock type, tunnel type: pegmatite	Tunnel / gallery / shaft	precious	Landscape protection area, nature park
Street exposure S of Kohlplatz near Bodenmais		276A017	Bodenmais position	Rear Bavarian Forest	Metatectic to anatectic cordierite-sillimanite gneisses are exposed on state road St2132 south of Bodenmais. Some of these light-colored gneisses have a striking garnet. A large number of metamorphic structural features (such as banding, folds, inclusion of clods, etc.) can be seen in the exposure. Almost directionless structures alternate with clearly oriented structures in a narrow space.	3750 250 × 15	Type: Type of rock, metamorphic structure Type: Cordierite-Sillimanite-Gneiss	embankment	significant	Landscape protection area, nature park
Road exposure W from Fahrnbach		276A021	Bischofsmais position	Front Bavarian Forest	In the embankment there are medium to fine-grain quartz diorites (variable composition: granodiorite, tonalite to diorite), which are interspersed with granitic and pegmatitic corridors. The quartz diorites are deformed to different degrees.	50 50 × 1	Type: Rock type, metamorphic structure Type: diorite, granodiorite, tonalite	embankment	precious	Natural park
Pegmatite pit on the Hennenkobel NW of Rabenstein	more pictures	276G001	Zwiesel position	Rear Bavarian Forest	Pegmatites are large to giant-grained dike rocks, some of which contain rare and beautifully formed crystals. The quartz core of the pegmatite on the Hennenkobel was mined in opencast and underground mining for glass production. The dismantling wall was exposed again in 2002. Granite and pegmatite are exposed there. The mining tunnel is closed. The pegmatite pit on the Hennenkobel became known through various mineral finds (e.g. first determination of triphyline, a phosphate mineral).	16000 200 × 80	Type: tunnel, type locality, quarry / pit, minerals Type: pegmatite	Tunnel / gallery / shaft	precious	Nature reserve, landscape protection area, FFH area
Silberberg Bodenmais show mine	more pictures	276G002	Bodenmais position	Rear Bavarian Forest	In the poly-metamorphic sulphide deposit, mining took place at least since 1436 (until 1952). At first, the focus was on metal production, later vitriol and polishing red were also extracted. Over 80 minerals have been described from the Silberberg sulphide ore occurrence. In the show mine, impressive tours through tunnels and huge cavities of the old mine are offered. The geotope is one of Bavaria's hundred most beautiful geotopes and is explained on site with a corresponding information board.	160000 400 × 400	Type: Tunnels, Minerals Type: Gneiss	Tunnel / gallery / shaft	especially valuable	Nature park, protected landscape area	Bavaria's most beautiful geotopes No. 17
Former Rotkot mine on Kellerberg N von Zwiesel		276G003	Zwiesel position	Rear Bavarian Forest	Sulphidic ores were broken down on the red droppings. The main ores are magnetic and sulfur pyrites, but copper pyrites, zinc blende and galena also occur. The side rock of the sulphide deposit is garnet-leading cordierite gneiss. First documented mention as early as 1580. The tunnel was operated from 1893 to 1952. The tunnel entrance is closed. In the vicinity there are heaps where sulphide minerals, but also a lot of limonitic material (iron hydroxide) can be found.	9 3 × 3	Type: Gallery Type: Gneiss	Tunnel / gallery / shaft	significant	Landscape protection area, nature park
Grübenfeld in the Rannenau		276G006	Lindberg position	Rear Bavarian Forest	The morphological landforms typical for gold soap mining are called pits. These are e.g. B. funnel pits, trenches, heaps (= soap mounds) and sewer systems. The pit field in the Rannenau at the upper Höllbach shows z. Some very nicely preserved soap mounds. In the vicinity of the Höllbach, the tracks are washed out by occasional flooding. For gold panning, the river gravel was mined up to 5 m below the top of the site. Further mine fields are located downstream.	80000 800 × 100	Type: Soap Laundry, Pinge Field Type: Gravel	Ping	significant	National park, ground monument, landscape protection area
Pegmatite mining table height		276G010	Frauenau position	Rear Bavarian Forest	The quartz pits in the area of Tafelhöhe above Spiegelstrasse probably date from the middle of the 19th century. Numerous heaps, several pings and a short tunnel in pegmatite, as well as a closed underground tunnel in gneiss, testify to the mining activity (quartz for the glassworks). In the short underground mine, the contact between gneiss and zonal pegmatite is open.	5000 100 × 50	Type: Pinge / nfeld, Stollen Type: pegmatite, cordierite-sillimanite-gneiss	Tunnel / gallery / shaft	significant	Landscape protection area, nature park
Grübenfeld am Mühlenbach near Unterried		276G011	Drachselsried position	Rear Bavarian Forest	Approx. 1 km northeast of Unterried, an up to 100 m wide Grübenfeld stretches along the Mühlenbach (Schönbach / Hochfellbach) for about 1300 m. Along the creek, the very coarse stream sediment seems to have been dug up and the fine fraction between the coarse rubble has grown. The mining traces in the ascent to Mühlenberg - with the absence of soap mounds - indicate that in this area in the weathered bedrock a primary gold mineralization could have been the mining target.	130000 1300 × 100	Type: Soap laundry, Schurf Type: Cordierite-Sillimanite-Gneiss	other information	significant	Landscape protection area, nature park
Grübenfeld on Rothbach E from Böbrach		276G012	Böbrach position	Rear Bavarian Forest	Soap hills accompany the course of the Rothbach over a length of almost 1,000 m. The relics of gold panning, up to 5 m high, consist of rubble of gneiss, quartz and granite. The late Middle Ages (oldest documented mention in 1312) and the early modern period are likely to be considered the heyday for the extraction of soap gold. However, there are no historically reliable details regarding the start of the gold prospecting or the yield. A circular hiking trail around Bodenmais and Böbrach (white on blue 4) opens up the area. The property is under special protection as a ground monument (monument no. D-2-6944-0052).	60000 600 × 100	Type: Soap Laundry Type: Gravel	Ping	precious	Soil monument, landscape protection area, nature park
Grübenfeld in the Gschwend		276G013	Lindberg position	Rear Bavarian Forest	The morphological landforms typical for gold soap mining are called pits. These are e.g. B. funnel pits, trenches, heaps (= soap mounds) and sewer systems. The Grübenfeld in the Gschwend am Kolbersbach shows z. Some very nicely preserved soap mounds. For gold panning, the river gravel was mined up to 5 m below the top of the site. Further pit fields are located upstream. The area is largely protected as a medieval-early modern gold soap hill area under No. 920987 as a ground monument.	150,000 600 × 250	Type: Soap Laundry Type: Gravel	Ping	significant	National park, ground monument, FFH area
Soap hill at Schwellhäusl	more pictures	276G014	Bayerisch Eisenstein position	Rear Bavarian Forest	On the slopes of the Falkenstein massif, traces of former gold mining can be found in various places. The cordierite-sillimanite-gneisses, the main rock of the Falkenstein massif, are deeply weathered in some areas, so that the weathering masses also shifted along the small streams. The gold, which is finely distributed in these rocks, was only transported over very short distances in this way. The very slight deformation of the gold grains, with angular and sometimes bizarre gold grains, speaks in favor of such a short transport route. The property is under special protection as a ground monument (monument no. D-2-6945-0057)	5000 100 × 50	Type: Soap Laundry Type: Cordierite-Sillimanite-Gneiss	other information	significant	National park, ground monument, FFH area
Grübenfeld Fürhaupten / Theresienthal		276G015	Zwiesel position	Rear Bavarian Forest	To the north of Theresiental near the Fürhaupten Nord industrial park are the remains of what was originally at least 50,000 m² in size, of which around 12,000 m² were preserved and taken into account in the designation of the industrial area. Gold was once panned here. In particular, the agricultural activity on the edge of the Zwiesel basin and regular floods are likely to be responsible for the leveling of the degradation tracks near the river. The traces of degradation in the forest south of the Fürhaupten road are in the best state of preservation. The object is under special protection as a ground monument (monument no. D-2-6945-0003)	15000 150 × 100	Type: Soap Laundry Type: Cordierite-Sillimanite-Gneiss	other information	significant	Soil monument, nature park

Large stake near Viechtach	more pictures	276R002	Viechtach position	Rear Bavarian Forest	The towering rock wall made of pile quartz near Viechtach is probably one of the most striking shapes on the entire pile. To the west there is a former quarry where pile quartz was extracted. A nature trail explains the special features of the region. The pile is the quartzized core of the pile zone, a fault zone that runs through the entire Bavarian Forest from NW to SE, which was carved out of the tertiary weathering by the Pleistocene erosion.	105000 1500 × 70	Type: hard rock, rock wall / slope, rock tower / needle, fault, rock type: vein quartz	Slope crack / rock wall	precious	Nature reserve, landscape protection area, FFH area	Bavaria's most beautiful geotopes No. 1
Fellerhof yard post NE	more pictures	276R003	Kollnburg position	Rear Bavarian Forest	The courtyard post is a ridge that is morphologically distinct from the surroundings. At several points on the distinctive ridge of the hill, the pile quartz forms rock cliffs up to 6 m high with steep rock walls. The pile quartz was created by excretions from hydrothermal solutions that penetrated the shear and pinnate crevices along the depth fault (= pile fault). Movements during and after the quartz deposition led to the brecciated structure of the pile quartz.	240000 800 × 300	Type: Hard , Fault Type: Vein quartz, ultramylonite	Slope crack / rock wall	significant	Nature reserve, landscape protection area, FFH area

Valley of the Black Rain between Metten and Teisnach	more pictures	276R009	Teisnach position	Rear Bavarian Forest	In the tectonically laid out NW-SE trending rain basin, a drainage system developed from the Oligocene onwards. The river system, which meanders on leveled areas, was bound by lowering the erosion base from around the Upper Miocene onwards. In the course of the Pleistocene, the river sank deeper and deeper and today's Kerbtal was created. There are many boulders on the valley flanks and in the river bed. Rock cliffs (gneiss) emerge on the steep valley flanks.	1600000 8000 × 200	Type: Meander, Kerbtal, Prallhang Type: Gneiss, Diorite	no information	significant	Landscape protection area, FFH area, nature park
Summit ridge of the Teufelstisch NW of Bischofsmais	more pictures	276R010	Bischofsmais position	Front Bavarian Forest	Along the ridge of the Teufelstisch there are several summit cliffs made of fine to medium-grain granite, which usually show a mattress-shaped wool sack weathering. The granites usually show a clear regulation of the crystals, which is due to tectonic overprinting. From the summit to NE there is a sea of boulders. Summit cliffs and boulder seas are the result of Pleistocene erosion and weathering.	4000 400 × 10	Type: Felsburg, Blockmeer Type: Granite	Slope crack / rock wall	precious	Landscape protection area, nature park
Weissenstein NW stake	more pictures	276R011	Rain position	Rear Bavarian Forest	With a length of over 100 km, the pile is one of the most important tectonic structures in Bavaria. The hydrothermal quartz filling of the fracture structure often forms hardnesses. The approx. 30 m high battlements of the Weißenstein were exposed by Pleistocene erosion and form one of the most striking shapes in the pile.	128000 1600 × 80	Type: Felsburg, Härtling, fault, rock type: Vein quartz	Slope crack / rock wall	especially valuable	Nature reserve, FFH area, nature park
Aitnachtal S from Viechtach	more pictures	276R013	Kollnburg position	Front Bavarian Forest	Valley of the Aitnach between Kirchaitnach and its confluence with the Schwarzen Regen: The valley system of the NS running valley, in which the Aitnach meanders many times today, took place in the Old Tertiary. A weak talasymmetry can be seen, which results from the periglacial conditions in the Pleistocene. Upon reaching the pile, the river initially flows parallel to the pile up to the steep-walled but extensive pile breakthrough.	1950000 6500 × 300	Type: Asymmetrical valley, meander Type: gravel	no information	significant	Natural park

The current appearance of the summit goes back to the Ice Age exposure of relatively unweathered rock areas through the removal of the tertiary weathering cover, as well as frost weathering and frost blasting. Various gneiss structures can be seen on the numerous, almost flat surfaces perpendicular to the rock structure, e.g. B. Quartz lenses up to 0.3 m in diameter.	2000 100 × 20	Type: Crag, type of rock, metamorphic structure Type: Cordierite-Sillimanite-Gneiss	Rock slope / cliff	significant	National park, landscape protection area, FFH area
Höllbachgspreng and Höllbachfall E from Zwieslerwaldhaus	more pictures	276R023	Lindberg position	Rear Bavarian Forest	The stream and rock section on the steeply sloping eastern flank of the Großer Falkenstein was already out of use in the 19th century and thus placed under protection. The slope is interspersed with rock cliffs made of gneiss over the entire height. The Höllbach overcomes the rocky areas in several small waterfall steps, the highest of which - the Höllbachfall - is approx. 5 m. Höllbachsee and -schwelle at the bottom of the glacial valley were artificially changed in order to make the wood drift possible.	400000 800 × 500	Type: rock wall / slope, waterfall, rock type, metamorphic structure Type: cordierite-sillimanite-gneiss, biotite-plagioclase-gneiss	Rock slope / cliff	significant	National park, landscape protection area, FFH area
