Klippenzone#

Cliff Zone, name of geological zones in the Pre-alps, where stones, most of them other than limestone, originating from the Jurassic clearly stand out of the rolling hills and mountains of the flysch zone and the northern Vienna Basin. Due to their special stones each zone has a different name: the Gersten cliff zone (coal deposits), the Ybbsitz cliff zone, the cliff zone of St. Veit bei Wien (volcanic rocks and marine sediments and the Waschberg zone (Ernstbrunn limestone, Falkenstein Mountains).
