Gold, silver, copper, lead, iron ore, lignite and above all fluorspar - the Upper Palatinate is rich in mineral resources and was an important mining area until not so long ago. In the extensive rock and mineral collection in the town hall, visitors can get an overview of the colourful variety of minerals from the region.
