Rocks from the Triassic Period at the Wissmilenpass
Colourful variety of rocks on the Sardona World Heritage Trail!
Description
Below the Wissensmilen Pass and along the Gipsgrat (gypsum ridge), hikers encounter a wide variety of rocks and colours. The sequence of layers here alternates between wine-red shale, whitish sandstone and yellowish dolomite. These rocks date from the Triassic period. The brownish-grey rocks, which form the summits of Spitzmeilen and Magerrain, already belong to the more recent Jurassic period.
