Loess is soil that has been blown here by the wind. The loess layer is up to 30 m thick, especially on the Kaiserstuhl. Loess is very stable, except when paths damage the surface. Then a furrow forms first, but further use as a path, as well as running water, digs the path deeper and deeper, creating a hollow way. The walls can be steep, often even vertical.
