Quaternary profile in the former SW gravel pit of Hörmating		187A001	Tuntenhausen position	Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion	The Hörmating gravel pit is located in a drumlin . In 1960 Ebers first described a Quaternary profile that was then controversially discussed and became famous. There are several gravel horizons under the Worm Age ground moraine, some of which are separated by soil formations that emerged differently as the Holocene, as early Würm interstadial or as older interglacial. The outcrop had already changed at that time due to the mining and thus influenced the interpretations. Today mining has been shut down and the areas are used as storage space. The profile slope is overgrown with spikes and difficult to access. The outcrop is protected as a natural monument ND- 01270 Drumlin - cut near Hörmating. The natural monument area is shown in Fig. 4.	2700 90 × 30	Type: standard / reference profile, fossil soil, layer sequence type: moraine, gravel	Gravel pit / sand pit	precious	Natural monument
Quarry of the cement works Rohrdorf near Sinning		187A002	Rohrdorf position	Chiemgau Alps	In the quarry of the Rohrdorf cement works, coralline rubble limestone (lithothamnian limestone) is turned in with steep south traps in marl (Stockletten) of the city formation. Burgen formation (Adelholzener layers) occurs in shed. A geological map and a stratum profile of the quarry is given in Lammerer et al. (2011) included. The Lithothamnienkalke near Sinning were discovered in 1808 during the construction of the brine pipeline and quarried over decades as Rosenheim granite marble as a popular stone. Cement has been produced in the plant since 1930. Do not enter the active quarry without the consent of the owner!	446500 950 × 470	Type: Layer sequence, Animal fossils Type: Marlstone, Limestone	Quarry	especially valuable	no protected area

Road outcrop between Langweid and Rohrdorf		187A005	Re-firing position	Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion	The profile is in Pinswanger and Adelholzener layers as well as Stockletten. It was covered by late-worm glacial lake deposits from the former Rosenheimer See.	5250 350 × 15	Type: Standard / Reference Profile Type: Marlstone, Mudstone	embankment	significant	no protected area
Quarry at Kirchberg ENE von Neubeuert	more pictures	187A007	Re-firing position	Chiemgau Alps	The only outcrop of Bavarian Helvetic in reef facies, the reef lies on the intra-Helvetic threshold. The gray coral limes lie on stocklets containing red algae bulbs (rhodolites).	6000 150 × 40	Type: Standard / Reference Profile, Animal Fossils, Rock Type: Limestone, Marlstone	Quarry	precious	no protected area
Former quarries at Bürgl near Altenbeuern		187A008	Re-firing position	Chiemgau Alps	In the Härtlingszug there is an important Helvetic profile with a formerly rich fossil content. The former millstone quarry is now used as an open-air stage. All loose material has been removed, which is why it is hardly possible to find it.	5200 130 × 40	Type: Layer sequence, Animal fossils, Hardwood Type: Marlstone, Sandstone	Quarry	precious	no protected area
Nagelfluh the Biber S from Brannenburg / Degerndorf		187A009	Brannenburg position	Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion	The beaver is an island mountain made up of cracked glacial delta gravel, which was poured steeply (layer slope!) Into a lake. It is a 50 - 60 m thick sequence of rocks with a high proportion of crystalline rubble (diameter 1 - 5 cm, occasionally over 10 cm) in a calcareous matrix. The thick banked alternation of conglomerates and sandstones also shows wedging layers and cross stratification. The Biber-Nagelfluh is still quarried as stone in three quarries. Do not enter the active quarries without permission! In the past, millstones were mainly made. The oldest written evidence of a millstone quarry in Bavaria relates to Degerndorf and dates from the 10th century. The steep west and south walls of the beavers are relics of this ancient mining. On the fairground at the Church of St. Magdalena, rock faces show the rock structure of the Nagelfluh. Traces of millstone extraction have been preserved on a large Nagelfluh block below.	365400 870 × 420	Type: Rock type, Sedimentary structures, Machined rock Type: Conglomerate	Quarry	precious	no protected area
Nagelfluhwand near Weng	more pictures	187A010	Tuntenhausen position	Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion	The very extensive former Kies- und Nagelfluh mining (probably Mindel-ceiling gravel) has partly collapsed. Large parts of the dismantling walls have been preserved over a length of almost 300 m.	19200 320 × 60	Type: Rock Type: Conglomerate	Gravel pit / sand pit	significant	no protected area

Outcrops in the Fluderbachtal E of Gernmühl		187A012	Samerberg position	Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion	The outcrop is part of a standard profile of the Würm glacial and is of European importance. It shows fossil-bearing (deciduous and coniferous trees) crack-worm-interglacial sea clays of the Törwang basin, overlaid by worm moraine.	5000 200 × 25	Type: Standard / Reference Profile, Vegetable Fossils, Minerals Type: Moraine, Clay, Sea Chalk	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	especially valuable	no protected area
Ceiling boundary in the quarry S of Nussdorf		187A013	Nussdorf am Inn position	Chiemgau Alps	The Nussdorf quarry, which can be seen from afar, mines the Lechtal ceiling in alpine shell limestone. The sequence of layers is vertical or drops steeply to the south. In the far south, at an altitude of 680 m, the hanging black Partnach marl were exposed in front of a wall of Wetterstein limestone (Ganss 1980). The Alpine Muschelkalk forms the basis of the Lechtal ceiling. Its steep thrust path on the Allgäu Nappe is exposed between the lowest levels of the old mining area. The thrust orbit is formed by black marls with flaked limestones. They come from the adjacent Ammergau formation in the Allgäu ceiling. The bridge in the quarry spans the ceiling boundary, which continues under the remaining screen wall made of shell limestone to NE. Do not enter the active quarry without the consent of the owner!	87500 350 × 250	Type: fault, rock type, discordance Type: limestone, marlstone	Quarry	precious	no protected area
Type locality of the Sachrang formation W von Sachrang		187A014	Aschau im Chiemgau position	Chiemgau Alps	The type locality of the Sachrang formation is remote near the border with Tyrol above Sachrang. From Mitterleiten W von Sachrang (no parking, climb up from Sachrang) take the hiking trail in the direction of Spitzstein / Altkaseralm and turn left at 870 m in the pasture area onto an unmarked wide path. At the edge of the forest then pathless and steep - be careful! - descend down to the Prien. At the edge of the side arm coming from the west, the leafy to thin-plate and bituminous clay marl stones of the Sachrang formation of the Lower Jurassic are located. These black slates are a special facies (anoxic milieu) within the Allgäu Formation and have their extra-alpine counterpart in the Posidonia slates of the Alb. According to Ebli (1991), this is probably the most impressive occurrence of Alpine Lias black slate. Below are dm-banky limestones of the Allgäu formation.	1600 80 × 20	Type: Type locality Type: Clay marlstone	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	especially valuable	no protected area
Slab thrust on the Prien near Bach		187A015	Aschau im Chiemgau position	Chiemgau Alps	On the road that leads south from Bach to the left of the Prien, the thrust of the Lechtal Nappe onto the Allgäu Nappe is exposed. Here - in the window of Aschau - in the valley floor of the Prien, the rocks of the Lechtal ceiling were removed so deep that the Allgäu ceiling below emerges as it were in a window. The lightly weathered, but dark gray and bituminous smelling, thick banked rock is the Alpine shell limestone of the Lechtal cover. Heavily sheared lie beneath and next to it reddish marl and silica limestone of the Upper Jurassic of the Allgäu Nappe.	200 40 × 5	Type: Storage conditions, layer sequence Type: Limestone, pebble limestone	Slope crack / rock wall	precious	FFH area
Fossils in the Central Jurassic of the Laubenstein summit ridge		187A016	Aschau im Chiemgau position	Chiemgau Alps	The summit ridge of the Laubenstein is made of crinoid limestone from the Middle Jurassic. The light reddish rock is quite hard and consists to a large extent of the stems of sea lilies and hair stars (crinoids). The gaps are filled with sparitic (coarsely crystalline) calcite. Under the influence of weathering, the rock therefore breaks down into coarse gravel. The crinoids are embedded in their area of life - on sea thresholds - and disintegrate, partially processed by wave movement or relocated by currents. In places there are masses of brachiopods in the rock, the interiors are often hollow and lined with calcite crystals. You also find yourself weathered out.	80000 400 × 200	Type: Animal Fossils Type: Limestone	Rock slope / cliff	precious	FFH area
Rauhwacken at Steinlingalm SE from Aschau		187A017	Aschau im Chiemgau position	Chiemgau Alps	On the Steinlingalm below the Kampenwand there are large blocks of rough dolomite. They could be mistaken for landslide material, but they are down-to-earth hardships weathered out in the Raibl Formation, which is quite changeable here with Rauhwacken, limestone, sandstone and claystone.	2000 100 × 20	Type: Rock type: Rauhwacke, dolomite stone	block	significant	no protected area
Younger Obere Meeresmolasse E from Oberachthal		187A018	Riedering position	Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion	At the Großbach E von Oberachthal, the strata of the Younger Upper Sea Molasse are exposed. The fine to medium sands containing glauconite are to be placed in the Ulperting Formation. Layers of sandstone are included. A sandstone bank forms a small natural bridge here (which, however, would not be able to withstand stepping on!). The sands contain layers of mussel shill, often charcoal remains of wood and, in places, abundant oyster shells.	1000 100 × 10	Type: Rock, Animal Fossils Type: Sand	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	precious	no protected area
Nagelfluh of the Herreninsel in the Chiemsee		187A019	Chiemsee (municipality) position	Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion	In an earlier quarry on the northern tip of the Herreninsel, solidified early worm-age gravel is exposed to Nagelfluh. The badly sorted gravel is alternated with sand. The ground moraine above was not exposed.	1400 140 × 10	Type: Rock Type: Conglomerate, Sand	Gravel pit / sand pit	significant	Landscape protection area, FFH area, bird sanctuary
Upper sea molasse of the Herreninsel in the Chiemsee		187A020	Chiemsee (municipality) position	Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion	In 1873 King Ludwig II bought the Herreninsel and in 1878 the foundation stone for the new Herrenchiemsee Palace was laid. The old quarry of the monastery on the south side of the island was reopened for the extraction of natural stone. Here the digital terrain model shows an artificial terrace almost 500 m long, which was created by the quarry. In the overgrown area there are sand-lime bricks of the Upper Sea Molasse (OMM, Neuhofer layers) on old quarry walls. Some of them carry fossils (mussel schill).	9800 490 × 20	Type: Stone type, quarry / pit type: Lime sandstone	Quarry	precious	Landscape protection area, FFH area, bird sanctuary
Prien slope at the Rainer Mühle		187A021	Prien am Chiemsee position	Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion	On the eastern bank of the Prien, south to east of the Rainer Mühle, part of the Prien profile often mentioned in older literature is exposed. At the geotope point in the south, there are crumbly sandstones of the Chatt, which are said to contain a rich marine mollusc fauna (washhouse horizon). The steep and overgrown impact slope is only accessible through the river when the water is low in summer. Steep sandstones can be seen across the river. To the north there is an alternating sequence of sandstones and marls and at the bridge at the Rainer Mühle lies the horizon of the Rainer Mühle in clay marls with microfossils that allow the layer to be classified in the youngest Oligocene. This important fossil horizon could also be proven in Lower Bavarian boreholes. The clay marls of the Upper Oligocene cannot be distinguished lithologically from those of Aquitaine (Miocene). In the geological map they are summarized as marls of the Younger Lower Sea Molasses.	5250 350 × 15	Type: Layer sequence, Animal fossils Type: Sandstone, Marlstone	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	especially valuable	Landscape protection area
Prien NE von Dösdorf		187A022	Bernau am Chiemsee position	Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion	On the eastern slope of the Prien there are clay marls to sandy marls with sandstone banks of the Chatt sands - only accessible without a path. They are covered by terraced gravel from the crack age, which is cemented to Nagelfluh. The fallen blocks of this Nagelfluh lie in the river. Spring water escapes on the damming Tertiary, which has deposited and is still depositing plenty of tufa. A granite boulder has been exposed and signposted on the forest path above. It is marked as a boundary stone and labeled with the year 1610 and an A for Aschau and W for Wildenwart.	23000 230 × 100	Type: Type of rock, layer source Type: Tufa, conglomerate, sandstone	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	significant	Landscape protection area
Flysch of the Schauergraben SSW from Bernau a. Chiemsee		187A023	Bernau am Chiemsee position	Chiemgau Alps	In the Schauergraben, quartzitic sandstone banks alternating with finely layered clay stones from the Rehbreingraben formation are exposed. A specialty are conglomerate-brecciated fanglomerate fillings from nearby cliffs and islands of the Paleozoic underground. This wild flysch can otherwise only be found in Bavaria in the Allgäu. Quartz porphyries and melaphyres are striking in the breccias, suggesting that the Paleozoic and older subsoil was interspersed with what is presumably Permian volcanism.	1800 120 × 15	Type: sequence of layers, type of rock Type: claystone, sandstone, breccia	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	precious	no protected area
Building block layers in Tobel W of Bad Feilnbach		187A024	Bad Feilnbach position	Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion	At the upper reaches of a ravine, the Feilnbach falls in a wild amphitheater of high, steep walls over a rock step made of layers of marine building blocks. Blocks from rockfalls lie in the ravine. Down the ravine there are layers of marl clay. Landslides are formed in the soft layers. The pathless access to the western ravine area is very difficult upstream, a little less difficult over the southern steep slopes and ridges. Attention!	10000 200 × 50	Type: Rock Type , Waterfall Type: Sandstone	Slope crack / rock wall	significant	no protected area
Osterbach layers of the Ultrahelvetic SW from Bad Feilnbach		187A025	Bad Feilnbach position	Mangfall Mountains	Along the Osterbach SW of Bad Feilnbach there is a very changeable sequence of layers of medium to fine breccias, sandstones, limestone, marls, clay slate and their transition rocks. It could not be assigned to the known layer sequences of the ultrahelvetic and therefore received its own name. On the east side upstream along the Osterbach, the Osterbach layers follow Molasse and Helvetikum from about 610 m. At the geotop point they are cut into the slope of the road. Fig. 3 shows (by the hammer) a sandstone bed that engages in a limestone-marl alternate fold. Pflaumann & Stephan (1968) provides a sketch of the position of the outcrops in the Osterbach strata, whereby many of the river beds in the stream bed are now likely to be covered with gravel due to the construction.	4000 200 × 20	Type: Type locality Type: Breccia, sandstone, limestone	Slope crack / rock wall	precious	no protected area
Former Quarry W from Fischbach a. Inn		187A026	Flintsbach am Inn position	Mangfall Mountains	The former quarry (Rauscherbruch), visible from afar, with the 140 m high quarry wall with berms, shows predominantly heavily folded, thin to medium-bank limestones of the Allgäu formation with dark marl layers. In the southwest, medium to thick banked, brown limestones of the Kössen Formation border a fault. Only enter the site of the former quarry with the consent of the owner! Stay away from the steep walls - high risk of falling rocks!	80000 400 × 200	Type: sequence of layers, rock type: limestone, marlstone	Quarry	significant	no protected area
Hafnach quarry (Maggeswand) S from Fischbach a. Inn		187A027	Flintsbach am Inn position	Mangfall Mountains	In the quarry, vertical weather stone limestone from a saddle core is exposed. The layers are less steep towards the upper berms and towards the south, and the Raibl formation stands above the upper Wetterstein limestone. The uppermost Wetterstein limestone contains the iron mineralization found in the entire Bavarian Alpine region - here as pyrite impregnations, which weather rust-brown on the surface. The basal Raibl formation consists of fine sandstones, over which limestone and dolomite with black clay marl stones lie. Finely laminated dolomites in the very south contain bitumen skins that are noticeable in the smell when you hit it. This dolomite must already be placed in the main dolomite. Do not enter the active quarry without permission from the owners!	220000 500 × 440	Type: Layer sequence, type of rock Type: Limestone, clay marlstone, sandstone	Quarry	precious	no protected area
Outcrop in the Hohenburger Hügelfeld N von Zuhr		187A028	Soyen position	Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion	In a dilapidated pit north of the Zuhr farmstead, a small remnant of the dismantling wall remained open from a classic outcrop that was described and photographed by Troll in 1924 (Fig. 4). A sloping, narrow alternation of fine gravel to fine sand is interspersed with small faults. This type of sedimentation is typical of a Kame Delta: At the edge of the ice, sediments were poured into a lake. It could only have been a small lake surrounded by ice. The Hohenburger Hügelfeld was excluded as a special feature by the early explorers because it represents an interruption of the terminal moraine in the east and west. Instead of a contiguous terminal moraine with till parts, there are hills of gravelly-sandy sediments. The reason for this is that the meltwater runoff from the glacier was concentrated in a glacier gate in this area.

Würmzeitlicher Till on the rebound slope of Attel S from Unterübermoos		187A029	Pfaffing position	Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion	At the footpath bridge over the Attel below Unterübermoos, a till (glacial till), typical sediment of a ground moraine - here from the Worm Age - is exposed on a bulging slope. Pebbles and debris lie in a fine clay-marly matrix. The till is covered by meltwater gravel. Outcrops in the till are not that common: it contains too much fine particles for gravel extraction, too much gravel for clay extraction, so that the geologist has to rely on natural outcrops like here.	48 12 × 4	Type: Rock Type: Gravel, Moraine	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	precious	Landscape protection area, FFH area
Granite marble in the Thalmann quarry		187A030	Rohrdorf position	Chiemgau Alps	In the quarry south of Thalmann, Corallinace rubble limes (Lithothamnienkalke) are stored as banks in marls (Stockletten) of the Stad formation. The Corallinaceae detritus was entered in subaquatic landslides or turbidite-like in the deeper deposits of the marl. The Lithothamnienkalke near Sinning were discovered in 1808 during the construction of the brine pipeline and quarried over decades as Rosenheim granite marble as a popular stone. The large Rohrdorfer Bruch in this rock is generally not accessible. Here, in the Bruch near Thalmann, a new, fresh and instructive information was created through a short dismantling. The short-term dismantling served to obtain natural stone, which was urgently needed for restoration work.

Type locality of the Pinswang layers E from Pinswang		187A031	Re-firing position	Chiemgau Alps	Hagn was able to classify marl stones in the Pinswanger Graben near Neubeuu on the basis of macro and microfossils in the Lower Upper Campan and named them in his dissertation from 1952 as Pinswanger layers. In the gorge of the Pinswang valley canyon E, the Pinswang strata are exposed as blue-gray, layered marl stones. The Pinswang strata of the North Helvetic were deposited on the outer shelf far from the coast. Stratigraphically, the Stallau green sandstone lies beneath the Pinswang layers, followed by the Pattenau layers above the Pinswang layers.	3250 130 × 25	Type: Type locality Type: Marlstone	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	especially valuable	no protected area
Mill quarry Hinterhör	more pictures	187G001	Re-firing position	Chiemgau Alps	In the quarry, clear traces of the millstone mining can be seen using different techniques. The coarse-clastic Neubeurer mill sandstone is a layer member of the black ore layers several tens of meters thick. As a light mill sandstone, it was mined from 1489 to 1860. It is possible that the quarry is much older, because archaeological investigations of three water mills in Dasing (Lkr. Augsburg) from around 100, 743 and 840 AD brought millstone fragments from Neubeur mill sandstone to light. The layer suitable for millstones drops steeply to S, which is why the excavation wall overhangs heavily. The geotope is one of Bavaria's hundred most beautiful geotopes and is explained on site with a corresponding information board.	800 40 × 20	Type: Quarry / Pit Type: Sandstone	Quarry	especially valuable	Natural monument, ground monument	Bavaria's most beautiful geotopes No. 52
Wolfsschlucht Neubänen	more pictures	187G003	Re-firing position	Chiemgau Alps	Rocks of the South Helvetic facies are exposed. The steep gorge was created by the selective mining of a uniform-grain, glauconite-bearing sand-lime stone (up to 25 m thick), and in places also collapsed underground whetstone mining. The green sandstones of the narrow seam layers were used as grinding and whetstones. Adjacent is the alveolar quartzite, which also belongs to the Kressenberger strata.	600 60 × 10	Type: Quarry / Pit Type: Sandstone	Slope crack / rock wall	precious	no protected area
Former Shale coal mining W von Wasserburg a. Inn		187G004	Wasserburg am Inn position	Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion	The reconstructed tunnel entrance is reminiscent of the mining of shale coal (brown coal) between Wasserburg and Gars in the period from 1890 to 1920. The shale coals come from peat layers of the Riss-Würm interglacial or early-worm interstadial and were compacted by ballast, moraine and ice loads.	10 5 × 2	Type: Stollen Type: Lignite	Tunnel / gallery / shaft	precious	FFH area
Weber cave house on the wall in Oberaudorf		187G005	Oberaudorf position	Mangfall Mountains	The weaver on the wall is a cave house, because its back wall is a slightly overhanging rock wall made of Upper Rhätkalk with a small cave. The Weberwand right next to the house is quite difficult to climb. In earlier times, hermits lived in the half-cave, before a master weaver bought the property in the 19th century, built the house in its current form and soon opened as an inn. The house hosted many important personalities and is still visited a lot today thanks to its sunny location. At the level of the 1st floor is a small cave room with a spring and sinter coverings, which can be visited by appointment.	400 50 × 8	Type: Felsenkeller Type: Limestone	Rock cellar	precious	monument
Grafenloch and Roßstall in the Luegsteinwand SW of Oberaudorf		187G006	Kiefersfelden position	Mangfall Mountains	In the vertical to overhanging rock of Upper Rhätkalk of the Luegsteinwand there are two caves: the Grafenloch and the Roßstall. The Grafenloch (Luegstein Cave) has remains of masonry and, after excavations, could be dated as a cave castle from the 10th to 13th centuries. Pottery from the Urnfield Period was found in the deepest excavation layer. According to legend, the neighboring horse stable is said to have housed the count's horses. A path leads to the Grafenloch, which is narrow for the last few meters and requires surefootedness and a head for heights (wire rope on the mountain side), then a steep steel staircase leads upwards. Before reaching the horse stable, a path leads to the wall at the last wooden steps.	184 23 × 8	Type: Felsenkeller Type: Limestone	Slope crack / rock wall	precious	Landscape component

Rock gate in Raibl formation SSW from Aschau		187H002	Aschau im Chiemgau position	Chiemgau Alps	From Hammerbach the hiking trail to the Ellandalm leads past the geotope Hammerbachquelle and at an altitude of 760 m through a rock fall area. In 2009 the hiking trail was buried here. It has now been painstakingly restored. Above is dolomite stone of the main dolomite over Rauhwacken of the Raibl formation. Both rocks are tectonically heavily stressed and broken. In particular, the layers of the Raibl formation are constantly churning off. The weathering of softer or more shattered Rauhwacken parts has left an impressive rock gate. Do not enter the areas at risk of falling rocks!	1500 50 × 30	Type: Eruption / Weathering Cave Type: Rauhwacke	Slope crack / rock wall	significant	FFH area
Laubenstein-Ponor at the Laubensteinalm SW of Aschau		187H005	Aschau im Chiemgau position	Chiemgau Alps	A ponor is a swallowing hole (stream shrinkage) in the karst area, in which an above-ground body of water disappears and continues to flow underground in a cave system. A brook flows to the Laubenstein-Ponor on water-retaining marls of the Lower Cretaceous (Schrambach Formation), which disappears between blocks in the karstified limestone of the Upper Jurassic. The karst waters of the Laubenstein area reappear in the Hammerbach spring at 720 m SSW from Aschau.	225 15 × 15	Type: Karst Shaft & Horizontal Cave, Stream Shrinkage Type: Limestone	Sinkhole / sinkhole	significant	FFH area
Ponor cave on the Schloßberg in Oberaudorf		187H008	Oberaudorf position	Mangfall Mountains	The way to the cave is signposted in the village with Ponor cave. It is located on the west side of the Schloßberg and is explained with a board. Although the cave is located in the limestone of the Upper Rhaetian Limestone, it was not created by lime dissolution, but rather by the gap between the Schloßberg - presumably as a result of the ice load and subsequent relief. In the cave, which is only 13 m long, a brook disappears, which reappears on the other side. The gap that created the Ponor Cave continues upwards and forms the Schloßberg Cave there, the (intermediate) floors of which are essentially formed by jammed blocks and stones.	26 13 × 2	Type: Fissured / Tectonic Cave Type: Limestone	cave	significant	Landscape protection area
Sources and falls of the Hammerbach SSW von Aschau		187Q001	Aschau im Chiemgau position	Chiemgau Alps	The Hammerbach spring on the hiking trail to the Ellandalm drains the Laubenstein Mulde and is one of the most heavily pouring springs in the Bavarian Alps. The karst spring with an average discharge of around 400 l / s in wet years emerges from the main dolomite at an altitude of 720 m. The karstification has not yet reached the valley floor, which deepened rapidly during the Pleistocene. Groundwater markings have shown that the water seeping away 1.3 km further WSW in a ponor below the Laubenstein at an altitude of 1160 m (Hammerbach spring in the TK) re-emerges here. The only occasional and sparingly water-carrying brook at the top makes only a small contribution to the spring discharge. The Hammerbach spring drains the extensive cave system under the Laubenstein. With the large amount of water from the spring, iron hammers and a wire drawing shop could be operated directly below.	3300 220 × 15	Type: Layer source Type: Dolomite stone	no information	precious	FFH area
Urschlach spring and ice collapse landscape SW of Halfing		187Q003	Halfing position	Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion	The Urschlachquelle is the source of the Söchtenauer Ache. The source lies in a dead ice kettle between moraines of the Ölkofener Stadium on the east side of the former Inn Glacier. After this stage, the glacier must have retreated quickly, as it left hardly any more striking moraine lines to the south. The water-retaining tertiary surface was encountered in a borehole not far away, a few meters below gravel. It can therefore be assumed that these gravels on the Tertiary are also the aquifer here and that the source emerges where the moraine is missing as a covering layer. Source outflows can also be recognized in the ponds by the blown sand. The catchment area of the source can be assumed beyond the moraine walls in today's gravel-filled dry valley in the east. This valley previously drained the ice edge.	19500 150 × 130	Type: Narrow source, ice collapse landscape Type: Moraine, gravel	no information	precious	FFH area

Zwölferturm on the Gedererwand		187R026	Aschau im Chiemgau position	Chiemgau Alps	The Zwölferturm - also called Gederer Turm - is a popular photo opportunity and a difficult climbing rock. The rock tower made of Wetterstein limestone is separated from the Gedererwand by crevices on all sides. The Wetterstein limestone (Triassic) of the Gedererwand forms the northern end of the Kampenwand thrust mass of the Lechtal ceiling. It lies on marls of the Partnach Formation (Triassic, Lechtal Nappe) and the Tannheim Formation (chalk, Allgäu Nappe). On the unstable marl, the clod with the Zwölferturm could migrate a few meters out of the wall. Large areas of rockfall mapped from the foot of the Gedererwand to the Maureralm suggest that such events also took place in the past and ended with towers or parts of the wall falling. It is reported that around 1900 the tower could still be reached by a daring jump over the separating column. Today that is no longer possible. This would cause the tower to tilt. Measurements in the 90s could not prove this, however.	800 40 × 20	Type: Rock tower / needle Type: Limestone, marl	Slope crack / rock wall	precious	no protected area

Prien gorge in the Wetterstein limestone on the SSW of Aschau chain		187R029	Aschau im Chiemgau position	Chiemgau Alps	The narrow driveway high above the Prien gorge was previously reserved for the wagons of the Aschauer Eisenwerke am Hammerbach and locked with a chain. The Prien gorge through the Wetterstein limestone was perhaps already created by melt water when the wider valley further east was still filled with the receding Prien glacier. Then the valley floor was filled with gravel until the ice had retreated over the pass south of Sachrang and there was no meltwater. The water flow of the Prien must have been high in the late and postglacial period, because many of the gravel was cleared again. The view into the gorge shows the edge of the water, which gives an idea of how whirlpool holes are created in the limestone as a result of the constant grinding effect of the sediments in the water. The Prien Gorge is a stop on the Priental Adventure Hiking Trail.	3900 130 × 30	Type: Klamm Type: Limestone	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	significant	FFH area
Schossrinn waterfall SW from Schossrinn		187R030	Aschau im Chiemgau position	Chiemgau Alps	The Schossrinn waterfall, which can be seen from afar, plunges an impressive 75 m deep. The existing rock is the Alpine shell limestone of the Lechtal ceiling. The dark gray, banky limestone is criss-crossed with calcite veins and tightly folded in places. According to the geological map, the path to the waterfall in the forest along the Schossbach begins in the window of Aschau from Allgäu-ceiling and then crosses the ceiling boundary. The heavily flaked rocks in the stream bed are probably rocks of the Ammergau formation of the Allgäu blanket. The waterfall shows that the ice retreat has left a high level of terrain that the water of the Schoßbach has not been able to compensate for by a deep gorge in the past time. In addition to the amount of water, the abrasive effect of quartz sands is also lacking in the predominant limestone and marl in the catchment area.	600 30 × 20	Type: Waterfall Type: Limestone	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	precious	no protected area

The Prien Glacier has left beautiful grinding marks on the rock face on the east side of the Mooserbichel. At the same time, stripes of armor can be seen on the fault surfaces that pull into the rock.	1200 80 × 15	Type: Glacier Cut Type: Limestone	Slope crack / rock wall	precious	no protected area
Subrosion dolines at the Gedereralm ESE in Aschau		187R032	Aschau im Chiemgau position	Chiemgau Alps	The humped pastureland north-east of the Gedereralm alpine pasture has remarkable karst forms on Rauhwacken of the Raibl formation. A sealed sinkhole (Lokva) collects surface water and serves as a trough for grazing cattle. At another sinkhole, fresh cracks in the embankment and exposed roughnecks show that the leaching process in the subsoil is still active here. Gypsum that is present in layers of the Raibl formation is dissolved away. The leaching is probably promoted here by the fact that, in addition to the ridge of Rauhwacke, a surface water flows that - perhaps only temporarily - releases fresh water into the neighboring porous rocks. Conspicuous sedimentary breccias in the Rauhwacken of the Gedereralm were described by Ganss (1967): They mainly consist of sharp-edged pieces of dolomite, but also contain rounded Wetterstein limestone pebbles.	37500 250 × 150	Type: Dolinenfeld Type: Rauhwacke	Sinkhole / sinkhole	precious	no protected area
The Kaisersaal canyon on the Kampenwand		187R033	Aschau im Chiemgau position	Chiemgau Alps	The ridge wall of the Kampenwand, which looks so narrow from a distance, contains a gorge near the summit, which is known as the Imperial Halls. The hiking trail leads from the Steinlingalm to the summit here. The stroke of the steeply erected layers coincides with the upward and downward thrust directions perpendicular to the direction of thrust of the Lechtal cover. Increased erosion on the steep surfaces leads to the opening of a summit gorge, together with clod tilting due to mass relief on the slope side.	6000 200 × 30	Type: Canyon Type: Limestone	Rock slope / cliff	significant	no protected area
Dolinenfeld of the Riesenalmen WSW von Aschau		187R034	Aschau im Chiemgau position	Chiemgau Alps	In the high valley of the Riesenalmen there are numerous karst phenomena: sinkholes, some of which have grown together to form large dolines, a ponordoline, carts and cart fields, karst lanes (the Spielberg can be seen in the digital terrain model), humpback meadows and locomotives. Lokven are shallow sinkholes, the bottom of which is sealed so that rainwater can collect. At other sinkholes, on the other hand, fresh cracks in the slope can be observed, which show that karstification is also progressing recently.	160000 800 × 200	Type: Dolinenfeld, Karren / -felder Type: Limestone, Dolomite stone	Sinkhole / sinkhole	precious	FFH area
Dolines on the summit ridge of the Hochries SSE von Grainbach		187R035	Aschau im Chiemgau position	Chiemgau Alps	In the summit area of the Hochries and on the way down to the Riesenalmen there are several sinkholes in the Plattenkalk. Further sinkholes at the foot of the mountain near the giant alpine pastures in Hauptdolomit, which is usually not karstified, are traced back to limestone bands in the sequence of layers. From karst funnels in the slab of limestone in the vicinity of the Hochriesgipfel red clay-like paleo soils are described (e.g. Jerz 1982), the age of which is assumed to be the oldest Pleistocene to Pliocene. In the Alpine region, soil erosion during the Ice Age was so severe that such old soils are extremely rarely preserved.	14700 210 × 70	Type: Dolinenfeld, Fossil Soil Type: Limestone	Sinkhole / sinkhole	precious	FFH area
Historical landslide from Schrofen W von Brannenburg		187R036	Brannenburg position	Mangfall Mountains	After weeks of rain, rockslides and landslides of 0.5 to 1 million m³ of rock occurred on August 9, 1851 and in the following days from the Schrofen, which dammed the Kirchbach into a lake. Due to the strong moisture penetration and despite many efforts to drain the water, the huge masses of rubble moved slowly and for days down the valley and destroyed the Kirchbachmühle and the houses in the district of Gmain except for one. A memorial plaque is attached to the earlier - higher-lying - residential building of the Kirchbachmühle (today Haus Brannenburg Education Center), which says that the landslide ... came to a happy halt here - which probably refers to the danger for the town of Brannenburg, because Gmain below was destroyed . The catastrophic landslide of 1851 had been preceded by others and small rockfalls from Schrofen continue to take place, as fresh eruptions show. The reason for the instability of the steep slope is the rest of the brittle main dolomite on the Raibl formation and above all on the marls of the Middle Jurassic.	750000 2500 × 300	Type: Rockslide Type: Dolomite stone, Rauhwacke, marl	Slope crack / rock wall	precious	no protected area

Glacial forms of Hohenburger Hügelfeld E von Soyen		187R038	Soyen position	Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion	The hilly landscape between Soyen and the Inn was delimited by the early glacial geologists as a special feature with the name Hohenburger Hügelland, because it represents an interruption of the terminal moraine in the east and west. Instead of a contiguous terminal moraine with till parts, there are hills of gravelly-sandy sediments. The reason for this is that the meltwater runoff from the glacier was concentrated in a glacier gate in this area. Outcrops can be found SE from Kraimoos (Fig. 3) or north of Zuhr (Geotope 187A028). A good view of the hill country is possible from the elevated reservoir west of Wetterstett.	3000000 2,000 × 1,500	Type: Ice crumbling landscape Type: Sand, gravel	other information	precious	no protected area
Innleiten and Umlaufberg from Wasserburg am Inn		187R039	Wasserburg a.Inn position	Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion	Up until the beginning of the 20th century, the bright, bulging slopes of the Inn north of Wasserburg largely determined the cityscape and are captured in old photographs (see Darga & Wierer 2009) and paintings (e.g. von Jawlensky). The fact that the slopes were free of vegetation was due to the fact that they kept moving due to landslides. With the new bank reinforcements at the foot of the slope, the Inn could no longer erode and the cause of the landslides disappeared. The Innleiten grew largely over. On the Innleiten moraine lies over high worm-age gravel. What protrudes from the vegetation in bright cliffs today are ribbon clays with scattered boulders within the moraine deposits. In places, backwater dampens the clays from above and leads to minor landslides. The old town of Wasserburg lies in a meander loop. If the south side were not fortified (and the river tamed by the weir above), the Inn would break through the loop in the future and leave an oxbow lake with a circular mountain.	234000 1,800 × 130	Type: Prallhang, Umlauf- / breakthrough mountain Type: Moraine, clay, gravel	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	precious	FFH area

Brechries large slide on Jenbach S from Bad Feilnbach		187R042	Bad Feilnbach position	Mangfall Mountains	The vegetation-free area caused by the major slide of the crushing giant is visible from afar and is also clearly visible in the aerial photo (Fig. 4, above digital terrain model). The landslide was noticed in the 1980s when a torrent dam was destroyed not long after its completion. Investigations followed, which determined a large-scale landslide with considerable depth. Further technical protective measures in the form of barriers and bank protection were then implemented. At the beginning of 1998 extensive mass movements took place in the form of rockfalls and landslides, which also led to a temporary damming of the Jenbach. However, the water flowed off under the debris. The landslide and its surroundings were intensively investigated by means of two deep boreholes and further terrain surveys. Because of the potential danger in the form of mudslides, it is continuously geodetically monitored. The landslide lies in an alternation of limestone and marl stones of the Kalkgraben formation. They are very clearly visible in the upper slope area.

Karst forms of the Oberwiesenalm SW from Aschau i. Chiemgau		187R045	Aschau im Chiemgau position	Chiemgau Alps	The valley of the Oberwiesenalm was carved out by a local glacier, which had its nutrient area near the Grubalm ice cellar. The deep erosion followed the Jura and Lower Chalk rocks in the core of a hollow in the Lech Valley cover. The round humps and depressions that remained when the ice retreated have since been exposed to karstification. In addition to various cart shapes on the rock outcrop, there are sinkhole fields, ponors and, where the sinkholes are sealed or sealed off by fine material, so-called Lokvas. These are small ponds of surface water that allow livestock to be watered in an area where water quickly disappears into karst crevices. The karst forms in the Oberwiesenalm area are referred to in numerous places in Treibs (1963): The Laubenstein area in Chiemgau. received.	300000 1000 × 300	Type: carts / fields, sinkhole fields Type: Limestone	Sinkhole / sinkhole	precious	FFH area
Karst forms of the Abergalm SW from Aschau i. Chiemgau		187R046	Aschau im Chiemgau position	Chiemgau Alps	The basin of the Abergalm was carved out by the ice as a cirque and was the breeding ground for a small local glacier. With the ice retreat, diverse karst forms developed here in the Jura limestone in a small area: sinkholes, caves, ponors and carts. The numerous karst forms in the Abergalm area are discussed in text and images in Treibs (1963): The Laubenstein area in Chiemgau. The Abergofen at the object point is a remarkable cave, the entrance area of which can be entered in a sinkhole. A natural bridge arches over the sinkhole. In the sinkhole there is a spring intake, the overflow seeps away after a short distance. So the sinkhole is also a ponor. Under no circumstances should you continue exploring the cave after the entrance area under the natural bridge - it turns into an almost vertical, deep shaft! There are also plenty of carts between the Holzerhütte and Bergwachthütte at the entrance to the Abergalm.	360000 600 × 600	Type: sinkhole field, karst halfway / natural bridge, carts / fields Type: limestone	Sinkhole / sinkhole	precious	FFH area
Ponor and terrain at the Baumgartenalm		187R047	Aschau im Chiemgau position	Chiemgau Alps	200 m north of the Untere Baumgartenalm building, a semicircular wall up to 10 m high surrounds a flat moor. A channel meanders through the moor and disappears in a ponor. The area is mostly pasture, the shapes are easy to recognize. The digital terrain model from laser scan data (Fig. 4) shows the terrain forms in a larger context. The explanations for the geological map speak of an extensive cirque with wet cirque soil. The wall-shaped moraine indicates the final stage of retreat. The Karflanken are covered with rubble today. Similar to the Ellandalm in the north-east, this interpretation may have to be checked again in detail in the field: Can the little cesspool under the Predigtstuhl actually feed a glacier and fill such a moraine? It is said that an ice field only has enough mass from an area of 0.1 km² to start moving as a glacier. This size of area could just be reached between the wall below and the end of the karst above. Or is the round shape mainly a karst phenomenon?	32000 200 × 160	Type: Ponor, End (wall) moraine Type: Moraine	Sinkhole / sinkhole	precious	FFH area
Hirschenstein W from the Kampenwand		187R048	Aschau im Chiemgau position	Chiemgau Alps	Shortly before the Kampenwandbahn cable car enters the mountain station, you can see a precariously balanced boulder in the north. It is made of Wetterstein limestone or dolomite and stands on one of the rocks of the Hirschenstein. From a different perspective (Fig. 3) his position no longer looks so delicate. In contrast, the summit block of the westernmost rock of the Hirschenstein seems to be able to find support in the compound. As erosion progresses, sooner or later both blocks will fall into the valley. Accordingly, the hazard warning map in the UmweltAtlas Bayern indicates the risk of rockfall / blockfall with or without forest dampening / rock fall for the area below.	3600 90 × 40	Type: Boulder Type: Limestone, Dolomite Stone	block	precious	no protected area
Findling Au-Stein in the valley of Attel SE von Pfaffing		187R049	Pfaffing position	Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion	On the Pfaffing nature experience path in the Attel valley, not far from station 3, the barn in der Au, there is a large boulder. At the end of the valley, before the path goes up the slope, a sign should lead to the Au-Stein. Perhaps he is no longer there, because the stone does not seem to attract many visitors from this direction. We came from a different direction and happened to find the overgrown information board north of the stone. The boulder is located from the barn in SSW direction directly across the forest meadow. In Darga & Wierer (2009) you can see a photo of the 2000 freshly exposed boulder. Today it is heavily overgrown again and surrounded by a ditch filled with mud and water. Be careful, the muddy ground cannot be seen at the edge under the leaves! The boulder consists of a gray-brown sand-lime brick and contains large foraminifera a few millimeters in diameter. Darga & Wierer (2009) assigned the rock to the Eocene Oberaudorf strata of the Inner Alpine Molasse. The boulder was transported from the Inn glacier over at least 45 km.	20 5 × 4	Type: Boulder Type: Lime sandstone	block	significant	Landscape protection area, FFH area
Drumlin landscape SE from Vogtareuth		187R050	Vogtareuth position	Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion	Around Vogtareuth and Prutting there is a drumlin field east of the Inn. The distinctive ridges of the terrain indicate the direction of movement of the Inn glacier from the Würm period. Gravel quarries are located within the drumlin field, giving an insight into the structure of the drumlins.	54000000 9000 × 6000	Type: Drumlin- / G.moränenfeld Type: Gravel, Moraine	no information	significant	no protected area
Koller felts W from Raubling		187R051	Raubling position	Inn-Chiemsee-Jungmoränenregion	Milling of peat in the Kollerfilzen ended in 2005. What remains are elongated, water-filled mining aisles with narrow peat residues in between. The peat obtained was initially used for the Rosenheim saltworks and later in breweries. The rural hand peat cut was of secondary importance. With the melting of the Wurmzeit Inn-Chiemsee glacier, the moraine walls dammed up the meltwater to form the 50 km long Rosenheimer See. With the breakthrough of the Ur-Inn through the terminal moraine wall, the lake drained, leaving marshland and silting up residual water. One of the largest pre-alpine high moor complexes is formed. From the hiking car park west of Nicklheim, a wide path leads to the moor station with its observation tower. The route and the station are accompanied by information boards. In 2019, the Nicklheim World Path was installed along the route. The development of the earth from its formation to the present is shown very clearly at 17 stations.	9000000 3000 × 3000	Type: raised bog, peat cut Type: peat	no information	significant	no protected area
Terraces of the Prien NE of Innerwald		187R052	Aschau im Chiemgau position	Chiemgau Alps	River terraces are rarely as clearly visible as here. Most of the steep terrace edges are forested, here they are grassland. Towards the end of the last Ice Age, with the retreat of the Prien Glacier, large amounts of gravel were deposited in the Priental. With the retreat of the glacier over the Wildbichl Pass, there was no more gravel. The still strong meltwater flow deepened into the previously deposited gravel and created terraces. This is explained on a board on the edge of the terrace. When the meltwater also found a south-facing drain on the other side of the pass, a valley that was too big for today's Prien remained. Today the Prien seeps into the gravel for a long time every year - in September 2019 at the height of Huben - and slowly fills the creek bed again from Grattenbach.	4000 100 × 40	Type: Terrace Type: Gravel	Impact slope / river bed / stream profile	significant	no protected area
Rock fall with Blockstrom SE from Hainbach		187R053	Aschau im Chiemgau position	Chiemgau Alps	From the Priental you can see the trail of a fresh rock fall above Hainbach. The main dolomite material came off in March 2017 and was transported as a mudslide in heavy rain	9000 300 × 30	Type: Rock fall, debris cone Type: Boulder rubble	Slope crack / rock wall	significant	Nature reserve, FFH area, bird sanctuary
Glacial forms around the Frasdorfer Hütte WSW von Aschau		187R054	Aschau im Chiemgau position	Chiemgau Alps	The glacial forms around the Frasdorfer Hut are a legacy of the Laubenstein glacier. The north-facing local glacier of the last ice ages lay, so to speak, on an ice-free island that protruded from the sea of the distant ice glaciation in the valleys and in the foreland. The glacier's nutrient area was in the hollow between Riesenberg and Laubenstein. Ice is also likely to have flowed in from the snow basin of the giant alpine pastures. West to south of the Frasdorfer Hütte lies flat undulating terrain, which is the moraine of the Würmzeit Laubenstein glacier. The moraine does not have a distinct wall shape. It was formed by the ice breakup and probably also shaped by landslides. The depression of the wooden room may have contained a small, silted-up glacial lake. The breakthrough through the moraine that drained it can be traced to the northeast. The elongated ridge with a calmer relief that stretches between the Frasdorfer Hütte and the Hochalm from south to NNW and its counterpart on the western side of the valley are interpreted as the moraines of an older Laubenstein glacier from the crack age.	1500000 1500 × 1000	Type: End (wall) moraine, end moraine lake, humpback meadow Type: moraine	no information	precious	no protected area
