Geology

The upper part of each Ybergs and neighboring Iberst consists of volcanic rock (quartz porphyry ). The former volcano comes from the time of the Rotliegend, ie its lava froze here before about 299-251 million years ago.

The base area of the Ybergs and Iberst is even older. He was born in the Upper Carboniferous between 318-299 million years ago. The carbon is also known as coal -time, since coal seams are found. In the base area of ​​the Yberg there were also smaller Kohleflözchen. After the discovery of the first Kohleflözchens in 1745 trials used a to promote the coal economically. However, the thickness of the coal seams was low and the work is very demanding. 1848, the last coal mining experiment was shut down.

On the slopes of Ybergs there is yet another deposit. It is the loess. Loess is a very young from the last Ice Age.
