Michael, you asked if there were any mountains, rivers , salt mines etc in the region, The answer is yes, but I don't see how that helps as he wrote Apologia in 1716-17 and did not get to live in Karlshafen until about 1726 and that is some distance from Kassel (by horse in those days)where he was living. The area is very attractive with hills and winding rivers and tree-clad slopes. Mining is carried out some further distance away in the Erzeberg region and is really too far to consider.
Hi John,
Actually it's not to far to consider if going off of what I was thinking, about "something" being placed in the center of three main geographical points of reference. A couple of other questions;
Is one of the mines up high, like in a cliff wall, and can any of these hills be seen from here? Do any of the hills have three different elevations relative to each other. In other words are they connected to each other, but have three different elevations.
