Großer Auersberg
Mountain in Germany
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Großer Auersberg is a mountain, 818 metres about sea level,[1] in the Bavarian part of the Rhön mountains. It is located in an unparished area, 4.68 km² in area, in the county of Bad Kissingen, three kilometres southwest of the village centre of Wildflecken. The Großer Auersberg is covered by dense deciduous forest and lies within the Wildflecken Training Area,[2] established in 1938. Most of the terrain is a military out-of-bounds area, which civilians may not enter.[1] To the west-southwest rises the slightly higher Kleiner Auersberg.[2] Neither should be confused with the Auersberg near Hilders in the Hessian part of the Rhön. For over 100 years, barite was mined at the Marie mine on the mountain.[2]
