Braunenberg, Summit in Ostalbkreis district, Germany
The Braunenberg mountain rises within the eastern Swabian Jura, displaying distinct layers of Brown and White Jura geological formations across its surface.
The mountain contains two valuable iron ore seams formed during the Jurassic period when this region marked the edge of an ancient sea.
Local geological enthusiasts gather at Braunenberg to study the diverse mineral deposits and fossil specimens, including Aulacostephanus eudoxus and Aspidoceras bispinosum.
The Braunenberg-Lauf running event takes place annually, offering participants choice between 8.2-kilometer and 14.6-kilometer courses with elevation gains up to 400 meters.
Limestone quarries at the upper sections of Braunenberg provided essential materials for historical smelting operations while preserving numerous Jurassic-era fossils.
