Mount Cameroon

Pohorje

Made of metamorphic rock, Pohorje is geologically part of the Central Eastern Alps, but due to its location south of the Drava River it is commonly regarded as a Southern Limestone Alps range.

River Holford

The geology of the river consists of three different rock types at the top of the river there is the Devonian Quartzite(Metamorphic), in the middle of the river there is the Permo-Triassic Marl(Sedimentary) and the lower part of the river consists of Jurassic Limestone(Sedimentary).
