It is often spoken and written about the Göttingen Buntsandsteingebiet. However, it continues both to the southeast across the state border of Thuringia in the direction of Heiligenstadt and to the south into Hessian Switzerland. Here, for example, the sandstone layer comes to light to the east above Bad Sooden-Allendorf. The devil's pulpit must also be mentioned. I'm not aware of a limit to the south.
