Since the environmental damage caused by the salt water derived from the Werra, which is produced during the processing of potash salts, became too great, the salt, which can not be reused, is now stored in a huge heap. The mountain grows by an incredible 20,000 tons every day and already covers more than 100 hectares.

Monte Kali Heringen is the spoil heap of the Heringen potash mine. It is one of the so-called "White Mountains" that gave the region its name. The second of these mountains is located a few kilometers away in Philippsthal.
