    Hiking

    Gypsum mining for the Walkenried plant is expected to start in February 2020. The gypsum quarrying area "Am Kuhberg" is located in the eastern part of the district of Lower Saxony. The 1.9 hectares are an approved sub-area of an approved field of 18 hectares, which in recent years was used exclusively for arable farming.

    Hiking

    Apparently the gypsum field is already exhausted. In any case, the place looked very deserted, no machines and large boulders blocked the access. Was that it after only four years?
