Location and Geology

Auersberg belongs to Wildenthal, which has been a district of Eibenstock since 1994. North of the Auersberg lies the Sosa dam. Below the summit there is a parking lot. When ascending to the Auersberg, you cross the Johanngeorgenstadt district of Sauschwemme. The main type of rock is medium-grained granite, which includes tourmaline. Also included in the granite are silver, tin and iron compounds, which were mined as early as the 16th century. At the peak of mining activity, there were up to 300 mines on the Auersberg. These included the Churhaus Saxony. In addition to the aforementioned rocks, quartz and slate have been proven to occur in veins on the summit.
