The "mountain village" of Schweighausen lies at the foot of the 727 m high Geisberg and the 744 m high Hünersedel. The river Schutter, which gives the Schuttertal its name, rises at the foot of the Hünersedel. The Schutterquelle is always a popular resting station on hikes through the Schuttertal.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Permian : 280 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
