The Kaliberg in Wunstorf is a 176-meter-high spoil heap and was created by former potash mining in the Sigmundshall plant. It is also affectionately called "Kalimandscharo" and is a landmark visible from afar in the region steinhuder-meer.de komoot.com.
The Sigmundshall potash mine was one of the most important potash mines in Lower Saxony and extracted potash salts there for almost 120 years. Potash extraction ended on December 21, 2018, as the economically recoverable reserves were exhausted.
