Loibner Loibenberg
The source rock for these high dry stone terraces is Gföhler gneiss, a metamorphic rock that was transformed from an acidic, granite-like source rock. The sandy-stony soil favours water drainage and facilitates root growth. At the foot of the Loibenberg there are loess and Danube gravel formations, whereas at the top, pure granite emerges in places.
