Block stream Kaser Steinstube > a geotope The impressive block stream of the "Kaser Steinstube" begins below the quartz conglomerate horizon, which is broken into large plates and is located at the edge of the plateau, and stretches down the slope for more than 100 m. A temporary stream flows through it. In some places the quartz conglomerate blocks pile up on top of each other and form small cover caves. The block stream was formed in the Pleistocene at a time of increased erosion and soil flow in the periglacial area. The geotope was awarded the "Bavaria's 100 most beautiful geotopes" seal of quality and is explained on site with an information board.

Crocodile Rocks of Landerham >a geotope This quartz conglomerate block, which has a crocodile-like shape when viewed from the southeast, forms a landmark that can be seen from afar in an open field. The block is the remnant of a formerly more widespread conglomerate cover and probably slipped from its original higher location within a solifluction cover in the Pleistocene. The block shows, as is often the case in the quartz conglomerate bank, a grain size change from gravel (conglomerate) to sand (sandstone).
