Polish Geological Institute Special Papers, 22 (2007): 1–162 Polish Geological Institute, Rakowiecka 4, PL-00-975, Warszawa, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Detailed characteristic of the Au-bearing arsenic-polymetallic deposits and a few prospects of the hydrothermal quartz-sulphide vein type from the Kaczawa Mountains are presented. The most important are the gold mineralization in Radzimowice which is classified as the transition from the porphyry to the epithermal type and in Klecza–Radomice de- scribed as the orogenic type. Auriferous mineralization is structurally controlled and hosted mainly by cataclased seri- cite-graphite schists from Pilchowice and Bolków units, which constitute the Paleozoic Kaczawa Metamorphic Complex. The fractured axial planes of F2 open asymmetric folds built of graphite schist, and second-order fault structures of major W–E and NE–SW directions played significant role as structural and geochemical traps for migrating mineralized hydrother- mal fluids. Gold mineralization post-dates the regional metamorphism of host rocks (greenschist

  • The Historical Cultural Landscape of the Western Sudetes. an Introduction to the Research
    Summary The historical cultural landscape of the western Sudetes. An introduction to the research I. Introduction The authors of the book attempted to describe the cultural landscape created over the course of several hundred years in the specific mountain and foothills conditions in the southwest of Lower Silesia in Poland. The pressure of environmental features had an overwhelming effect on the nature of settlements. In conditions of the widespread predominance of the agrarian economy over other categories of production, the foot- hills and mountains were settled later and less intensively than those well-suited for lowland agriculture. This tendency is confirmed by the relatively rare settlement of the Sudetes in the early Middle Ages. The planned colonisation, conducted in Silesia in the 13th century, did not have such an intensive course in mountainous areas as in the lowland zone. The western part of Lower Silesia and the neighbouring areas of Lusatia were colonised by in a planned programme, bringing settlers from the German lan- guage area and using German legal models. The success of this programme is consid- ered one of the significant economic and organisational achievements of Prince Henry I the Bearded. The testimony to the implementation of his plan was the creation of the foundations of mining and the first locations in Silesia of the cities of Złotoryja (probably 1211) and Lwówek (1217), perhaps also Wleń (1214?). The mountain areas further south remained outside the zone of intensive colonisation. This was undertak- en several dozen years later, at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, and mainly in the 14th century, adapting settlement and economy to the special conditions of the natural environment.

  • Promoting and Interpreting Geoheritage at the Local Level—Bottom-Up Approach in the Land of Extinct Volcanoes, Sudetes, SW Poland
    Geoheritage https://doi.org/10.1007/s12371-019-00357-2 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Promoting and Interpreting Geoheritage at the Local Level—Bottom-up Approach in the Land of Extinct Volcanoes, Sudetes, SW Poland Edyta Pijet-Migoń1 & Piotr Migoń2 Received: 5 November 2018 /Accepted: 10 April 2019 # The Author(s) 2019 Abstract This paper reviews recent developments focused on the promotion of geoheritage in the region of Kaczawskie Mountains and Kaczawskie Foothills in the Sudetes, SW Poland. Since ancient volcanic features are of primary interest, the brand name BLand of Extinct Volcanoes^ is consistently used in territorial marketing, although geoheritage values cover much wider spectrum of geology and geomorphology. The scientific understanding of Earth history was long realized by restricted academic circles only, but since the 1990s, increasing attempts to develop regional tourist product based on geoheritage have been observed. They intensified in the twenty-first century, with the bottom-up approach evidently taking over, although close, formalized collaboration with scientists is a distinctive feature. The long-term goal of the Local Action Group is to join the UNESCO Global Geopark network and step by step the relevant criteria are being fulfilled. The case of Land of Extinct Volcanoes illustrates the crucial role of local communities and local leaders in the long-term strategy of geoheritage promotion and geotourism development. Keywords Geotourism . Geoeducation . Geosites . Volcanic tourism . Sudetes Introduction are necessary to fulfill

This is an open access publication, which can be used, distributed and reproduced in any medium according to the Creative Commons CC-BY 4.0 License requiring that the original work has been properly cited. Abstract: The paper presents the results of geological and landscape studies in the Wojcieszów area (the Kaczawskie Mountains), which include investigation, inventory, documentation and a first evaluation of its geotourism objects. This area has high values of the natural environment and a rich geodiversity associated with a complicated geological structure (the Kaczawa unit, the metamorphic Kaczawa Complex). Some of the anthropogenic activities (mining), which have revealed interesting fragments of the geological struc- ture, have also influenced the increase of geotourism attractions in this area. The area is one of the best examples of the region in the Sudetes, where economic considerations predominate over the protection of the natural environment. Since the 16th century, the crys- talline Wojcieszów limestone was mined in numerous quarries (e.g. Silesia, Gruszka, Połom, Miłek). In the limestone, intensive karst processes occurred mainly in the Paleogene (numerous caves and speleothems).

  • A Structural Model for the Western-Central Sudetes: a Deformed Stack of Variscan Thrust Sheets
    Journal of the Geological Society, London, Vol. 157, 2000, pp. 1155–1167. Printed in Great Britain. A structural model for the western-central Sudetes: a deformed stack of Variscan thrust sheets ROSEMARY SESTON1, JOHN A. WINCHESTER1, MAREK A. J. PIASECKI1*, QUENTIN G. CROWLEY1 & PETER A. FLOYD1 1School of Earth Sciences and Geography, Keele University, Staffordshire ST5 5BG, UK (e-mail: [email protected]) *Marek Piasecki died on 13 June 1999 Abstract: A model based on new structural and geochemical data is presented. It unifies the structural history of the Izera, Rudawy Janowickie and Kaczawa complexes with the Fore Sudetic block, despite their current separation by the Intra-Sudetic and Marginal Sudetic faults. Above the granitoid Izera, Kowary and Wa¸droz˙e gneisses, at the base of the structural sequence, the ductile Kowary shear zone marks the basal decollement of the Suwierzawa thrust sheet, comprising often highly strained metasediments associated with enriched tholeiitic and alkaline metabasites. Above it, the ductile Kaczoro´w shear zone, corresponding to the main mylonitic zone within the Leszczyniec shear zone in the Rudawy Janowickie Complex, marks the base of the Dobromierz thrust sheet, characterized by voluminous MORB-like meta-tholeiites and minor metasediments in the higher parts of the Rudawy Janowickie and Kaczawa complexes and the Pyszczyn´ska Hill area of the Fore-Sudetic Block. In the east the Sle¸za ophiolite and the Go´ry Sowie Block override the entire nappe stack. Kinematic fabrics in the major and related shear zones indicate D1 compressional transport towards the northwest, followed by minor D2 extensional movements.

  • Geographical Characteristics of Silesia
    Gerard Kosmala Academy of Physical Education in Katowice Geographical characteristics of Silesia Abstract: This article contains basic geographical information about Silesia, useful as a starting point for further historical analysis. Silesia is a region of central Europe located within the borders of several nations. At different times in its history it has been part of Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany and Poland. The rough outline of the relief of Silesia was formed in the Paleozoic Era, finally reaching its ultimate form in the Cenozoic Era. The same holds true for both the Sudetes as well as the entire tectonic fore- land, which was shaped by a glacier. Silesian land has always been rich in mineral resources such as building rocks, coal and copper, although only few of these can be found in abundance. The terrain’s shape results from the general structure of the hydrographical network which, with the exception of the eastern frontiers, is symmetrical, with the Odra river, flowing from the south-east to the north- west, as the axis of symmetry. Reservoirs have been built along many rivers for both energy-related and retention purposes. Due to the total absence of lakes, these reservoirs are the largest bodies of water in Silesia. The temperate, transitory climate with an annual average rainfall of 600–700 mm and average annual temperature of 8 °C results in conditions which are favourable for vegetation. Considering the abun- dance of fertile land one can easily understand why the agricultural scenery dominates the landscape. This, along with the development of industry at the base of the Sudetes and in the south-eastern part of Upper Silesia, is the reason for the relatively small amount of woodland areas.
