The Long Rhön () is a ridge in the Central Rhön which forms part of the High Rhön within the Rhön Mountains. The Long Rhön is an elongated basalt plateau in the centre, roughly 800 metres above sea level, which is only occasional interrupted by mountain peaks. Its highest mountain is the Heidelstein (). A majority of the area is part of the Long Rhön Nature Reserve. In this area of the Rhön is the Black Moor. Natural region grouping The Long Rhön was first defined in 1968 as part of the natural region classification ( M = 1:200,000) as a natural region and grouped as follows: *(to 35 East Hessian Highlands) **(to 354 High Rhön) ***(to 354.1 Central Rhön) ****354.11 Long Rhön Boundaries The boundary of the Long Rhön in the west along the Ulster valley may be taken from Hilders to its source roughly on the 600-metre-contour. The B 278 and an imaginary line several hundred metres west to roughly the height of the Rhönhaus separates it from the Wasserkup ...

Basalt
Basalt (; ) is an aphanite, aphanitic (fine-grained) extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of low-viscosity lava rich in magnesium and iron (mafic lava) exposed at or very near the planetary surface, surface of a terrestrial planet, rocky planet or natural satellite, moon. More than 90% of all volcanic rock on Earth is basalt. Rapid-cooling, fine-grained basalt is chemically equivalent to slow-cooling, coarse-grained gabbro. The eruption of basalt lava is observed by geologists at about 20 volcanoes per year. Basalt is also an important rock type on other planetary bodies in the Solar System. For example, the bulk of the plains of volcanism on Venus, Venus, which cover ~80% of the surface, are basaltic; the lunar mare, lunar maria are plains of flood-basaltic lava flows; and basalt is a common rock on the surface of Mars. Molten basalt lava has a low viscosity due to its relatively low silica content (between 45% and 52%), resulting in rapidly moving lava flo ...

When ascending to the Auersberg, you cross the Johanngeorgenstadt district of Sauschwemme. The main type of rock is medium-grained granite, which includes tourmaline. Also included in the granite are silver, tin and iron compounds, which were mined as early as the 16th century. At the peak of mining activity, there were up to 300 mines on the Auersberg. These included the Churhaus Saxony. In addition to the aforementioned rocks, quartz Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silica (silicon dioxide). The Atom, atoms are linked in a co ...
