The small nature reserve "Sulzheimer Gipshügel" with its steppe grass vegetation is unique in Germany. Walking is therefore only permitted on the narrow paths. The paths begin at the information boards, from which you can get a glimpse of the hilly and rustic landscape. You only open up a small part of the gypsum hills, but that's enough to feel the special magic of the place. The landscape is constantly changing, the ground is in motion. Collapsed cavities and remains of hardened gypsum dolines remain in the ground in a variety of patterns. The post-glacial steppe vegetation populates the gypsum hills with feather grass, steppe wolf milk and the Adonis rose. Today the Sulzheimer gypsum hills are among the 100 most beautiful geotopes in Bavaria.
