These rock formations are left from the Jurassic period - erosion during the ice age washed away the softer stone and silt around them. The 6200 square kilometer UNESCO Global Geopark Swabian Alb is one of the largest geoparks in Europe due to its geological, paleontological and archaeological heritage which is internationally significant. It offers a journey through 200 million years of Earth's history and provides a unique picture of the Jurassic period (201 to 145 million years ago). It was once covered by a warm tropical sea and the fossil sites and fossil discoveries from the Jurassic sea are famous the world over.
