The Fichtelgebirge from a geological-mineralogical perspective
Lecture by Martin Füßl at the TIETZ on 16 May, 6.30 pm
The Museum of Natural History invites you to a lecture by graduate geographer Martin Füßl on the Fichtelgebirge from a geological-mineralogical perspective on Wednesday 16 May at 6.30 pm in the TIETZ event hall.
"The Fichtelgebirge is a fascinating low mountain range landscape and holiday region," says Martin Füßl. Hardly any other region in Germany has such a great geological diversity in such a small area as the Fichtelgebirge. More than 500 million years of geological history have created a fascinating low mountain range landscape with boulder seas, rock labyrinths, wool sacks and mysterious moors. At 972 metres high, the Nußhardt is the third highest mountain in the Fichtelgebirge. Its appearance is described by hikers as very characteristic. Geologists were fascinated by the coarse-grained core granite and the eye gneiss of the summit. But gold, precious stones and valuable ores also magically attracted miners and still attract mineral lovers to the Fichtelgebirge today. The lecture provides insights into this fascinating topic.
