Thus from about 1240, the tin deposits (with the beginnings of subsurface mining also silver) around Ehrenfriedersdorf was mined. By finding rich silver adits in the 2nd third of the 15th Century the great mountain towns like Schneeberg (municipal law since 1477) and Annaberg (municipal law since 1496) was founded.

Nevertheless, in the past, evil itself is said to have preached to the damned here from a large, solitary, towering rock spur. Today, the term Devil's Pulpit inspires one to play with associations, as do the drawings of agates found here.

And on the devil's pulpit no longer an evil demon is waiting for the agate collector, but other executive powers threatening with purgatory... a contribution by Klaus Schäfer and others (in german) |

Der Untere Buntsandstein ist nicht zu finden. In St. Arnual, am Ostabhang des Sonnenberges bei Saarbrücken, sind diese beiden Altersstufen eindrucksvoll aufgeschlossen. Folgt man den sogenannten Felsenwegen entlang der Saar, so erkennt man das Profil, einschließlich der Violetten Grenzzone, die die Trennung vom Mittleren zum Oberen Buntsandstein darstellt. |

The eroded Claron limestone in which also fossils are found, leaves the impression of a subtle army from limestone warriors. Named after the Mormon Pioneer Ebenezer Bryce, the natural spectacle was 1928 declared as national park. |
