From this eleven-meter-high observation tower near Rüdigsdorf, you have a magnificent panoramic view of the South Harz Karst Landscape Biosphere Reserve. Salty, mineral-rich, wild – that's what characterizes this region. Once the seabed, today you'll find fascinating Zechstein deposits, depressions, craters, and impressive caves inhabited by bats such as the greater mouse-eared bat. In the biosphere reserve, dense beech forests mingle with colorful orchards, and idyllic villages mingle with historic towns.Learn more about the biosphere reserve and possible destinations for your next visit here: nationale-naturlandschaften.de/gebiete/biosphaerenreservat-karstlandschaft-suedharz.
