About this book

Language: German

With this guide encounter the unusual variety of beautiful and rare mineral species of the Oberharz, which is the western and higher part of the Harz Mountains, a geologically outstanding region. Characteristic of these landscapes are also the impressive traces left by the mining industry, such as the Oberharzer Wasserregal, the world's leading system for operating the mines with water power.

Summary in German:
Nicht nur aufgrund der ungewöhnlichen Vielfalt an schönen und seltenen Mineralienarten ist der Oberharz, also der westliche und höhere Teil des Harzgebirges, eine geologisch herausragende Region. So sind hier u.a. außergewöhnliche Silbermineralien zu finden oder die ästhetisch äußerst reizvollen, mit Kalkspatkristallen gefüllten Drusen. Prägend für Orte und Landschaften sind auch die eindrucksvollen Spuren, die der Bergbau hinterlassen hat, wie beispielsweise das Oberharzer Wasserregal, das weltweit bedeutendste System zum Betrieb der Bergwerke mit Wasserkraft.
