Icy_Grapefruit_7891 on 22/05/2025 07:04 That’s a gypsum area, with lots of sinkholes/dolines. Check the aerial imagery to get a better impression, looks wild. (Edited, I originally wrote limestone, but that is not correct)
tomatessechees on 22/05/2025 07:29 Dolines in gypsum. Gypsum is an evaporitic rock/mineral that dissolves more rapidly than calcite/limestone. Geologically, on a slightly larger scale, a lot is going on (as in most of the Alps)! The Gypsum layer appears in black here: [https://data.geo.admin.ch/ch.swisstopo.geologie-geologischer_atlas_profile/profile/GA25_041_Plate_III.pdf](https://data.geo.admin.ch/ch.swisstopo.geologie-geologischer_atlas_profile/profile/GA25_041_Plate_III.pdf) It’s a very unique landscape. I ran through it once without having known about it beforehand…would love to go back and explore more.
