Taubenberg is a mountain with a height of 896 m amsl and area of 1847 ha[1] in the Warngau municipality in the district of Miesbach in Bavaria, Germany.
It is a popular hiking destination and the most important water supply area of the Bavarian capital Munich.
Taubenberg is the result of debris flows of the upper freshwater molasses, which came from the south about 10-15 million years ago - when the Alps were formed.
These coarse debris cones now form characteristic mountains in front of the exits of the former tertiary Alpine rivers ( Tischberg{German}, Hoher Peißenberg, Irschenberg and others).
The distribution of Glacial erratics and the soil horizons in the summit area of the Taubenberg suggest that it was not overshadowed by glaciers in the last, the Würm glaciation, but emerged from the ice as Nunatak.
