Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bavarian Highlands and the Salzkammergut The general character of these projecting spurs agrees in this, that more or less it bears the marks of their origin; of their dependence on the mountains themselves, which make them, and before whose feet they lie like children at the feet of their parents. The comparison is quite fitting for a great portion of the country near the mountains; for it was to the last upheaval from the surface of the globe that they owe their present shape, and that convulsion precipitated, rolled and poured down the masses of ice-stone and water, whose impact and pressure broke the banks of the lacustrine basins then generally to be found near the mountains; and these drained of their waters, the boulder-flats, clay bottoms, the peat bogs and reservoirs remained, which still speak to the inquirer of mighty revolutions, if, not content with the charming landscape, he desires to examine the ground whereon the magic colours of this picture are laid.
