In the central Werra Valley, white landmarks rise up, visible from afar. They owe their existence to potash mining. Crude potash salt has been mined here for over 100 years, and is used to manufacture a variety of products – fertilizers, products for the chemical industry, and pharmaceutical active ingredients – in the above-ground factories. The region promotes itself as a tourist destination with the title "Land of the White Mountains" and offers a number of attractions for visitors. One of these mountains is Monte Kali, a 530-meter-high spoil heap, which already contains 218 million tons of spoil (as of May 2018), with 22,000 tons added daily.

Monte Kali is the spoil dump of the Heringen potash mine. This dump, along with the spoil dump of the Philipsthal potash mine a few kilometers away, is so characteristic of the landscape that it has given the region the nickname "Land of the White Mountains."
From this small covered rest area, you have a good view of Monte Kali.
