Gypsum hill in the Kyffhäuser

The gypsum karst landscape is simply beautiful. From here you can look a little further and let your gaze wander.

The South Harz gypsum karst landscape stretches for around 100 kilometers in length but only a few kilometers in width on the southern slope of the Harz Mountains. Here you can find a wide variety of karst phenomena such as sinkholes, dolines, caves and stream sinkholes, which are unique in Europe in such large numbers in such a small area. The gypsum karst area in the South Harz is the largest and most important gypsum karst area in Central Europe. The Gipskuppe is one of the unique areas worth protecting.

The dry karst slopes are something special at any time of year, but in spring it's a completely different league. Everywhere🌸🏵🌺🪻
