[email protected] Introduction The geology of the area around Lofer inspired the Bavarian geologist Felix Hahn to subdivide the Northern Calcareous Alps (NCA) tectonically (HAHN, 1912, 1913b). This subdivision was adopted by, e.g., TOLLMANN (1976b, 1985) and is essentially still in use. The clear relationships between some of the major tectonic units of the NCA is our motivation to do this field trip.

Short-term events, such as the melting of glaciers and landslides, played an important role in the sedimentary evolution of the Salzburg Basin._________________ The area at the Saalach confluence shows a basement high at the Walserberg. The basement high separates two basins: the up- per, proximal Bad Reichenhall Basin and the lower, distal Salzburg Basin. The deposits in the upper basin reflect a large delta fan that developed in postglacial times, in combination with a braided-river system on top of the fan.

The peat-layer, which was proven from three boreholes at the same altitude to have a N-S longitudinal extent of > 300 m and a thickness of 1.5 m, is overlain by sands and gravels. Two 14C ages (> 38,600 YBP and > 43,400 YBP) indicate that the peat was deposited before the climax of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM - Würmian) and that at least this part of the Salzburger Seeton is of early to pre-Würmian age rather than the previously inferred late Würmian age.

  • Lake Koenigssee to Lake Chiemsee
    LAKE KOENIGSSEE TO LAKE CHIEMSEE ALPINE PASTURES, LAKES & VIEWS LAKE KOENIGSSEE TO LAKE CHIEMSEE SUMMARY Walk through the Chiemgau Alps, an area of flower filled alpine pastures, crystal clear lakes, deep gorges and soft limestone mountains, nestled in the border region between Bavaria, Salzburg and Tirol. Great walking and charming traditional hotels in picture postcard villages make this a wonderful introduction to walking in the Eastern Alps. Your walking holiday commences in Schoenau, near the emerald green glacial Lake Koenigssee or ‘King’s Lake’ in the extreme south east of Bavaria. As you gaze up at towering Watzmann peak listen out for the traditional call of the flugelhorn echoing from the surrounding sheer rock walks, a fitting send off as you begin your walk. Pass the natural idyll of Lake Hintersee and walk on between the evocatively sounding summits of Eisberg and Hochkalter deep into the Berchtesgaden National Park which is home to sure footed mountain goats and dashing marmots. Traverse rich alpine pastures into Austria and navigate the turbulent white water gorge of Seisbergklamm into the lush Saalach Valley. Wind your way through Europe’s longest cave and take a refreshing dip in the natural plunge pool at Vorderkaser gorge before Tour: Lake Koenigssee to Lake Chiemsee following the pilgrims route to the 17th century Church of Maria Kirchental.
