Geology
Coarse sand from Quaternary Danube sediment relocated by wind in Holocene resulting in well classified (i.e. coarse) sand
Soils
Catena from sand soil of low humus content to peaty meadow soil.
Hydrology
Half of the area belong to a sand dune system with no groundwater effect, while the other half was temporarily flooded in springs. The flood became very rare after installation a drainage system in the 1970s. In smaller patches the groundwater is slightly alkaline.
