!!!Augensteinlandschaft

Augensteinlandschaft (also called "Raxlandschaft"), remnants of an old 
landscape especially conspicuous in the northern limestone Alps; 
formed into high mountains in the middle Tertiary period around 25 
million years ago, even before the formation of the Alps; charcterised 
by the occurrence of rock types foreign to the area ("Augensteine") on 
high plateaus and in caves (e.g. Schafberg mountain, Upper Austria; 
Dachstein caves).
