Here you can see the middle ridge of the Nagelfluh chain from the Buralpkopf to the Hochhäderich in the Allgäu Alps in the Upper Allgäu.
The middle ridge of the Nagelfluh chain is located in the Konstanz Valley and forms the Hochgrat and Hochhäderich range.
The northern ridge is formed by the Prodel and Kojen.
The southern ridge is formed by the Riedberghörner group.
Nagelfluh is rock made up of young conglomerates that weather into steep walls.
The clumped, "baked" pebbles look like hammered nail heads, half of which are visible.
The Nagelfluh was formed by the deposition of scree, seeping limestone deposits, and enormous glacial pressure.
It consists of eclogite, gneiss, quartz pebbles, green hornblende, red sandstone, and limestone.
The Nagelfluhkette Nature Park is an international protected area and the first cross-border nature park between Germany and Austria.
The area of 480 sq km extends from the Grosser Alpsee near Immenstadt through Blaichach and the Gunzesrieder Tal valley, as well as Rettenberg and Burgberg, to the Hoher Ifen.
The middle Hochgrat range in the Allgäu Alps begins with the 1,451-meter-high Mittagberg near Immenstadt and continues over 14 peaks to the 1,834-meter-high Hochgrat, a length of 12 km.
The middle ridge includes Mittag, Bärenköpfle, Steineberg, Stuiben, Sederer Stuiben, Buralpkopf, Gündelskopf, Rindalphorn, Hochgrat, Seelekopf, Hohenfluhalpkopf, Eineguntkopf, Falkenköpfe, and Hochhäderich.
