The GeoLine demonstrates geological features which can be experienced best in-situ. On 32 points, it gives an impression of the great diversity of geological processes which have led to the formation of rocks and have moulded the landscapes. Folded beds and fault structures are visible along the path through the Noth gorge, which has been declared monument of nature. They let us estimate the gigantic forces which have piled up the Alps. At the surface, the running water of the river Salza has forced the stream to cut deeply into the rocks. Stream regulations, coal mining and agricultural land-use demonstrate the close relationship between man and geological processes.
