Geology in the Weser- and Osnabrücker Bergland

With Teutoburg Forest, Weser and Wiehengebirge and the Eggegebirge, this landscape is as varied as the rocks in the underground. Thus, the layers from the carbon to the quaternary times are almost completely open and thus documented over 300 million years of Earth history. Scarce, comprehensible and richly illustrated, not only geology is described. In the chapter “Ur- und Frühgeschichte” you will learn the exciting settlement history of the region, the chapter “groundwater” tells you a lot about the unique healing waters and the often moving history of the baths tied to these. You will find interesting facts about the diverse soils of the Weser and Osnabrücker Bergland and its rich mineral resources as well as tips for exploring earth-historical monuments. All in all, the volume is a rewarding reading for both the natural and domestically interested reader as well as for the geoscientist who wants to get a quick overview of a space.
