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. |

Jahren entstand. Im Zuge der variszischen Orogenese bildeten sich neben dem Odenwald unter anderem das Rheinische Schiefergebirge, Harz, Schwarzwald, Erzgebirge und der Spessart. Diese Aufbrüche des Grundgebirges sind Teil der sogenannten Mitteldeutschen Kristallinschwelle – eine Reihe von mehr oder weniger isolierten Kristallingebieten - die von der Haardt im Pfälzerwald über den kristallinen Odenwald und Spessart, das Ruhlaer Kristallin und Kyffhäuser bis nach Osteuropa verlaufen. |

Unlike in Munich where you find the stands clear and concentrated in halls, the organizers use single fenced-off parts of the city to place the stands on the streets. Public buildings such as swimming pool, school and theater are transformed into smaller exhibition halls... A small showreport by Stefan Schorn (in german) |
