Guides: Frank Lehmkuhl (RWTH Aachen), Felix Martin Hofmann (University of Freiburg), Elisabeth Dietze (University of Göttingen) Date & Time: Sunday, September 14 8 - 18 h Price: 60 € Including: Transport by coach/minibus from and to Göttingen, printed field trip guide, packed lunch Personal requirements: Field boots and water-proof clothing, moderate personal fitness for intermediate walks. This full-day excursion offers insights into the geomorphological evolution of the Harz Mountains in the geologically recent past. We will explore planation surfaces, valley development, Pleistocene glaciation, Holocene mining history, and water management, and discuss their relevance for current dynamics — among other things, for preconditioning surface processes following a forest fire in the Harz National Park. |
