Velpker Switzerland 🇨🇭 attracts with a lot of water 💧 and little to no mountains ⛰. At most a small hill here and there. Nevertheless, it is a very beautiful area to hike 🥾 and enjoy nature.

Hiking

The former quarry and gravel mining area "Velpker Schweiz" is located in the northern part of the Helmstedt district in the joint municipality of Velpke. Since 1640, the Velpker Räth sandstone has been quarried here in numerous quarries and initially served to restore destroyed buildings after the Thirty Years' War and later to erect representative buildings in the region.
