Geology of Germany clearly set apart from the Alpine foreland, the Northern Limestone Alps form high mountains ("German: ") of well over 2,000 metres above sea level. Of the high mountains of Germany, the highest is Zugspitze, with a height of 2,962 metres, more than a thousand metres higher than Feldberg in the Black Forest, Germany's highest mountain outside the Alps. The Northern Limestone Alps represent a depositional environment that was probably located several hundred kilometres to the south, relative to the current position of the rocks. This is reflected in facies as well as in the fossil record: While in the Eastern
Medoc Mountain State Park Medoc Mountain State Park Medoc Mountain State Park is a North Carolina state park in Halifax County, North Carolina in the United States.

The eroded peaks were formed by volcanic action during the Paleozoic
