The calcareous grasslands near Roßbach are located on the hilltops and slopes of the Kleinalmerode Hills. A species-rich grassland has developed on their shallow soils in the Zechstein landscape, characterized by juniper stands and a variety of flowering plants.

Hiking

Orchids can be seen here at the end of May. Please do not dig them up; they won't grow in garden soil. They require the special location of the calcareous grassland.
