Mackenröder Cliffs

It's geologically very interesting here. The terrain is in motion. Over the years, material breaks off from the steep face, so that fortunately it shifts very slowly towards the west. Under the lime layer is the red, that is the layer of the upper red sandstone. Red becomes slightly mushy when wet. Under the weight of the lime layer there is reddening, which can be guessed below the steep edge.

The path along the cliffs is just fun. It is interspersed with roots and small slopes. Driving requires some concentration. But there is still a safe distance to the edge of the steep face.

Beautiful, sometimes more challenging singletrack on the eastern edge of the demolished Göttingen limestone plateau. On the weekend a bit more frequented.
