About this book

Language: German

In addition to a natural habitat for many animal and plant species and a millennia-old mining tradition, the Harz mountains in northern Germany offer an exciting geology with well-marked outcrops in the area and numerous museum exhibitions. For the first time, Dr. Wilfried Ließmann presents this extraordinarily scenic low mountain range on the basis of regional rock deposits. After a brief introduction to general rock science, the most important, distinctive and interesting rock types of the Harz mountains are considered in terms of composition, microstructure and conditions of formation. A total of 190 GPS coordinates enable a practical exploration of the terrain. Overall, this geological field guide is an indispensable foundation for determining rocks during off-road treks for both novice and advanced users.

Summary in German:
Neben einem naturnahen Lebensraum für viele Tier- und Pflanzenarten und einer Jahrtausende alten Bergbautradition bietet der Harz eine spannende Geologie mit gut beschilderten Aufschlüssen im Gelände und zahlreichen musealen Ausstellungen. Dr. Wilfried Ließmann stellt dieses landschaftlich außerordentlich reizvolle Mittelgebirge erstmals umfassend anhand regionaler Gesteinsvorkommen vor. Nach einer kurzen Einführung in die allgemeine Gesteinskunde werden die wichtigsten, markantesten und interessantesten Gesteinsarten des Harzes bezüglich Zusammensetzung, Gefügemerkmalen und Bildungsbedingungen betrachtet. 190 GPS-Koordinaten ermöglichen eine praxisnahe Erkundung der Geländeaufschlüsse. Insgesamt ist dieser geologische Feldführer eine unverzichtbare Grundlage für die Bestimmung von Gesteinen bei Wanderungen im Gelände sowohl für Einsteiger als auch für Fortgeschrittene.
