Lamač Gate ( Slovak : Lamačská brána ) is a tectonic erosion subsidence in Bratislava , the capital of Slovakia . It is one out of four geomorphological areas of the Devín Carpathians , part of the Little Carpathians mountain range, separating Devín Carpathians from the central massif of Little Carpathians. The city borough of Lamač and parts of Dúbravka lie geographically within the Lamač Gate.

To the east, it borders another natural gate, the Lamač Gate . Geologically, Devín Gate was created during the Pleistocene epoch. A large part of its core consists of granite massifs from the Carboniferous period. It also features limestones and dolomites from

On the Upper Danube, comprising the section between the springs where the river begins and Devín Gate upstream of Bratislava, the extension of the morphological floodplain is smaller as compared to the rest of the river. Neolithic farmers settled in the area approximately 5000 - 3500 BC, establishing continuous human settlement which lasts until present time. 48°10′30.29″N 16°58′42.96″E / 48.1750806°N 16.9786000°E / 48.1750806; 16.9786000 Lama%C4%8D Gate Lamač Gate ( Slovak : Lamačská brána )
