Lamač Gate

Lamač Gate (Slovak: Lamačská brána) is a tectonic erosion subsidence in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia.

The gate ends at today's Brnianska Street at the top of the hill at the watershed near the Bratislava Kalvária.

The area is densely populated and contains major transport infrastructure including the D2 motorway, I/2 road, the railway line no.

The last paleostress brittle-fault related event represents NNE-SSW tension, which is responsible for creation of the Upper Miocene Lamač Gate depression along NW-SE normal faults.

These are the youngest faults in the structural plan of the southern rim of Bratislava massif, even suspected form neotectonic activity.
