The Scheibenberg is one of the associated objects of the World Heritage Montanregion Erzgebirge / Krušnohoří. Since we really cannot describe it better, we would like to quote the text from the World Heritage Montanregion Erzgebirge eV at this point: “Uncovered by the extraction of sand, gravel and basalt, the imposing basalt pillars of the Scheibenberg up to 30 meters high served as a reference object around 1800 in the famous science dispute (plutonist-neptunist dispute) about the formation of the earth. The dispute (...) also led to conclusions about the formation of deposits and thus had a direct influence on the development of geology as science on the one hand and on the development of mining in the Ore Mountains on the other. The Scheibenberg is one of the most important geological monuments in Germany today. ”(Quote, November 7th, 2019)

Who would have thought that! The basalt columns are also called organ pipes.

The Pöhlberg mining landscape also belongs to the World Heritage of the Ore Mountains / Krušnohoří region, even as a main element. As with the Scheibenberg, we quote here the description of the World Heritage Montanregion Erzgebirge e. V .: “On the eastern side of the Pöhlberg, in the middle of a rural area, there is a mining area that has been occupied since the 15th century. Above all, the heaps of numerous small tunnels and the underground mines testify to the extensive mining on silver-containing copper ore. After the introduction of the Saiger process, silver was extracted from the copper ore mined here in the Saigerhütte Grünthal. (…) The underground mines from the 15th to the 18th centuries and the original remains of artifacts from the 18th century are unique for mining in the Ore Mountains. ”(Quote)

Here on the highest mountain in Saxony, with the highest town in Germany, is also the largest ski area in Saxony, together with the Klinovec (Keilberg) located in the Czech Republic. Go up with the cable car and the chair lifts and down with the skis. The physical well-being is also taken care of here.
