The gravel pit of Schlüpfing (extract from the Bavarian Environmental Atlas)

The gravel pit is in operation - intensive mining is taking place at the southern end in particular - but the eastern wall and the northern end are also sporadically mined, as the steep, largely uncollapsed walls show.

A section of the Northern Vollschotters layer sequence is exposed. Gravel dominates over long stretches. Sand layers and lenses are interspersed between these. Fine sediment horizons (silt, marl) also occur again and again. Lime-bound gravels form conglomerate lenses, while high lime content in the fine sediments leads to floury white sand and lime marl. The Tertiary layer sequence is covered by loess clay and flowing earth. A good insight into parts of the sequence can be seen in the active mining areas at the northern and southern ends of the pit. A motocross race track has been set up in the west of the southern section of the pit.
