When about 240 million years ago the primordial continent known as Pangea broke apart, the Salzkammergut region found itself on the edge of an unstable continental mass: dried up salt lakes underwent "displacements" lasting millions of years due to volcanic eruptions , elevations of mountain ranges and groundwater movements; they were pushed up, crushed and covered with a calcareous layer.
