Schutzfelsen Pentling, Geotope and rocky wall in Pentling, Germany
The Schutzfelsen stands at 350 meters elevation near Sinzing, featuring a 20-meter-long and 10-meter-wide rock wall along the Danube River.
In 1854, geologist Carl Wilhelm Gümbel first documented the rocks between Jurassic limestones and Regensburg greensandstone, establishing Schutzfelsen as a type locality.
The Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation maintains a memorial plaque at Schutzfelsen, first placed in 1790 and renewed in 1890.
The site contains educational information boards and is accessible through the A93 highway, taking exit 45 Regensburg South and following signs to Pentling.
The formation contains uncemented clastic sediments in bright red, violet, and blue colors, with occasional Lydite nodules and marcasite kernels.
