!!!Bernsteiner Gebirge

Bernstein Mountains, Burgenland, group of argillite mountains. They 
are part of the Central Alps massif and constitute the South-Eastern 
edge of the Bucklige Welt hills beginning at the border between 
Burgenland and Lower Austria. The wooded plateau between Zoebernbach 
and Tauchenbach reaches 896 m at the Hutwisch hill; the climate is 
rough, with massive precipitation and poor soil; the mountains and 
their Eastern continuation, the Guens mountains, separate Middle from 
Southern Burgenland. The only deposit of magnesium silicate in Europe 
is situated here. Near Tauchen, the largest deposit of brown coal in 
Europe can be found. Near Stuben and at Rettenbach, hot mineral 
springs have been discovered. Centre of the area:  Bernstein.
