Sulzheimer Gypsum Hills

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 Sulzheimer gypsum hills were placed under nature protection in 1979 and are on the list of the 100 most beautiful geotopes in Bavaria. The alternation of gypsum humps and sinkholes together with the remarkable population of pasque flowers and adonis florets is a real highlight, especially in spring.

Many gypsum hills can be seen in the landscape here.
