Geology

Short characteristics of the site: Moldanubicum, metamorphic units. Steep slope with rocky cliffs overlooking water flor. Outcrops consist of a biotite orthogneiss. This orthogneiss is of Prevariscan origin and still has its granitic image. Rocks on cliffs suffered mechanical blocky weathering and coarse blocky scree accumulated along cliff foot. Data on magnetic susceptibility are at disposal.
