The Kaliberg has it all. On the one hand a highlight, on the other hand an environmental sin.

From every angle, the Philippsthal potash mine's spoil heap is a fantastic photo opportunity. Depending on the depth and layer from which the spoil reaches the heap, it displays different colors. The eastern edge of the heap lies directly on the former inner-German border. A former border security watchtower can also be seen there.
