    Here is one of the most fascinating natural monuments in Europe: the Bassaltfächer. This geological phenomenon is solidified lava that emanated millions of years ago and solidified on the surface as a 15-meter-high basalt structure in the form of a palm frond. In May 2006 the basaltic fan was classified by the Academy of Geosciences in Hanover as one of the most important geotopes in Germany.

      The Hirtstein is a 889.8 m above sea level. NHN high extinct volcano at statute in the upper Erzgebirge.

      It is known for its geologically remarkable basaltic rock formation, which was uncovered by a quarry.
      On the summit is a historic station of the Royal Saxon triangulation of 1863.
