As the heart of the GEOPARK, the Tharandt Forest has been considered the "classic square mile of Saxon geology" for a long time, featuring significant outcrops of all the main rock types in the immediate vicinity. The region between Freiberg and Dresden is a place of vivid earth and cultural history, a local recreation oasis,
a nature and landscape conservation area as well as an educational area. Geological trails between the porphyry fan and sandstone beds, theme-based walks, expert excursions, project days and lectures - all this is part of experiencing the GEOPARK Sachsens Mitte (middle of Saxony).
