Hiking
Here is an abandoned Lower Muschelkalk quarry. In addition to the yellowish dolomitic limestones of the limestone bank, a section of the approx. 240 million year old seabed has been exposed and preserved. The regular wave pattern is a pleasure to look at. It indicates the subaquatic formation from lime sludge. Embedded in the surface are isolated inconspicuous petrefacts, e.g. sea line style members (witch's pennies), which can also be found in various places around the area in the forest floor (e.g. v. Encrinus liliiformis in the trochitic limestone). An information board clearly gives more precise explanations.

Geological highlight: You can see layers of the shell limestone sediments that make up the Göttinger Wald.
