    Hiking

    The old quarries at the "Dantschermühle" show the most comprehensive chalk profile in the Kelheim district: Regensburg Formation, Eibrunn Formation (with the micropaleontologically proven Cenomanian-Turonian boundary) and Reinhausen Subformation of the Winzerberg Formation. However, only the green sandstone is easily accessible, while the erosion-sensitive overlying layers have largely slipped and rolled over. The aim of the mining was the massive Lower Green Sandstone of the Regensburg Formation, which shows clear signs of processing. Bavarian State Office for the Environment (LfU).
