The Vornbacher Enge is interpreted as a Pleistocene breakthrough valley. At the boundary between young loose rocks and crystalline basement rock, the valley of the Inn narrows noticeably. In the Pleistocene, the river cut epigenetically into the slowly rising crystalline rock.

From Passau to Jochenstein: The Donauleiten are a nature reserve due to their unique flora and fauna as well as the outstanding beauty and uniqueness of the Danube valley. Steep south-facing slopes interrupted by side valleys with heat-loving oak and beech forests, open rock faces made of silicate rock and scree as high-quality dry locations, gorge and wet forests rich in hardwoods in the side valleys (Dobeln), some of which are formed as forest ravines, very rare reptile species and plants from the narrow Alpine foothills, e.g. the cyclamen. Of the many rare animal species, the Aesculapian snake and the green lizard are mentioned here as examples.

Coming from the north there is again a sign saying “cycling is prohibited”. Probably because of liability. The trail is not entirely safe, but it is great.

You literally drive through the granite factory. Past the excavators and dust-raising trucks. Very impressive.

Beautiful grotto in the middle of the forest, dreamlike power place

Nice old bridge in the middle of the forest

Really deep quarry near Hauzenberg

Past the quarry to the creek hiking trail in the direction of Hauzenberg or Schmölz
