Nagelfluh is the name of a special type of rock that is mainly found on the edge of the Alps. It consists of river pebbles that have been baked into a conglomerate. It is therefore made up of many individual stones. The Nagelfluh rock looks as if nails had been hammered so deep into the rock that only their heads are sticking out.

Mostly found on the edge of the Alps.

It's actually river gravel that has coalesced into a stone conglomerate over millions of years!
