"Der Welt" is in Genitive here, if I'm not mistaken. Yes, you don't need to put "in" here because the connection of "world" and "mountain" is made by using Genitive case.
In English there are no cases, so we have to use prepositions to connect the nouns. In other languages where there are cases, prepositions are not always necessary.

hi christian, just as in English this and that, dies an das can be used in different contexts. My suggestion was to make it easier for learners and to work with parallel "categories" dies-this, das-that
