Continuing south, we soon reached today's geotope. 14. Former Großmaulburg gravel pit near Vilsbiburg > significant “The sediments exposed in the former gravel pit are placed in the Moldanubian Series of the Upper Upper Freshwater Molasse. The pit is completely overgrown except for two smaller outcrops. Previously, on the former mining wall, cylindrical cavities in the sediment could be seen in diagonally layered sands (leading to feldspar and biotite, with iron hydroxide impregnations), which indicated embedded driftwood. Leaf flora was found in clay lenses” (Environmental Atlas of Bavaria)

“There are shallow pits in the area as evidence of former clay mining. Clays from the hanging series of the Upper Freshwater Molasse were mined for use as ceramic raw materials. The clays were the basis of a pottery industry that flourished for centuries in the Kröning area (Kröninger Hafnerware) and of small rural brick-making businesses. The clays were deposited in still water areas (backwaters, small lakes and ponds at the edge of rivers) and are classified as small-scale Lenses trained” (from Environmental Atlas Bavaria)

Old linden tree at the fork in the road to Zeiling. The linden tree at the fork in the road to Zeiling, which is over 200 years old, is not only an important habitat for birds and insects. The deciduous tree with a trunk diameter of around 1.2 meters and a crown diameter of 21 meters stores around 10 tonnes of the greenhouse gas CO2 in the trunk, branches and roots and thus makes an important contribution to climate protection.

The tower hill Diemannskirchen is a medieval tower hill castle (Motte) about 700 meters southwest of the Catholic church St. Margaretha von Diemannskirchen and districts of the municipality Geisenhausen in the Lower Bavarian district of Landshut in Bavaria. No historical or archaeological information is known about this castle, it is roughly dated to be medieval. From the complex on the edge of a steep slope to the Little Vils Valley, only a castle hill and a trench have survived. The castle site is protected as a ground monument "Medieval Tower Hill".
