When the Swabian Jura Tells Its Water Stories

On July 1, 2026, the Geo-Group Ostalb e.V. invites you to a lecture and group evening at the Stadthalle Aalen. The focus will be on the geological traces of reefs, caves, and tuff - the water pathways that have shaped the Alb over millions of years. The event begins at 19:00 and is aimed at all those who want to not only understand geology but also experience it. ([geo-ostalb.de](https://www.geo-ostalb.de/startseite))

From Fossil Reefs to Hidden Caves

The evening will take the audience into the depths of the Jurassic Sea, where sponge reefs formed around 140 million years ago. From these landscapes, the distinctive limestone formations of the Alb developed. As the sea retreated, rainwater dissolved the limestones and created underground passages, caves, and karst systems. This sequence makes the Ostalb a fascinating natural area for anyone interested in Earth history, paleontology, and regional geology.
