Here is an interesting geological outcrop of the Nossen-Wilsdruffer Slate Mountains. The quarrying of limestone has resulted in a cave that can be entered while observing nature conservation.

Heyneberg Limestone Mining. Panel 6:

In the Lower Carboniferous, calcareous greywacke and limestone occur locally within the olisthous stream near Heyneberg. Between 1815 and 1831, the limestone marl from Helbigsdorf, among other places, was used to produce furnace slabs in the Freiberg silverworks.

The upper Triebisch Valley is known for the Upper Triebisch Valley Geological Hiking Trail (GWOT), which provides an insight into the geological history and geology of the region and is approximately 17 km long.
