Hochrain-Ralais
The soils of the higher-elevation,
steeply inclined parcel Hochrain-
Ralais of fer an impressive contrast
to the loess soils at the foot of
the slope, with respect to their
geologic/pedologic contrasts in
subsoil.
Here the dominant feature is
paragneiss with a far lesser degree
of weathering than is the case with
the Wösendor f Slide Mass of the
Kollmütz. The soils, colluvially-
relocated shallow Regosols display
a very sandy texture and are
vir tually free of carbonates.
