Beautifully situated, great photo opportunity, and good information panels. Partially closed due to breeding grounds

Depending on the season, numerous birds can be seen from the closed bird watching stand.

The Heeseberg is a 200 m above sea level elevation in the Heeseberg collective municipality in the Helmstedt district (Lower Saxony). The climate is warm and dry and, together with the good soil, offers good conditions for agriculture. The mountain was therefore used for agriculture from an early stage. There are therefore only small forest areas in the eastern, southern and outer northwestern areas of the Heeseberg. (Source: Wikipedia)

Still waters (also known as standing waters, standing waters or stagnant waters) are natural or artificially created bodies of water in which there is no or only a slight flow rate. They are inland waters, and are the opposite of flowing waters. Oceans and seas are not still waters. Within hydrology, limnology deals with standing and flowing waters, primarily fresh waters, but also special forms of saline inland waters (such as saltwater lakes), which do not fall under oceanography.

At the Heeseberg, the Rogenstein (a rock made of limestone spherules) and the stromatolites (layered bacterial limestone reefs) were given their name by KALKOWSKI (1908). This outcrop became a type locality and still has great international scientific significance today. In 2006, the outcrop was awarded the title "National Geotope". The outcrop at Heeseberg impressively shows the "cauliflower-like" looking stromatolites embedded in the roe stones of the Older Buntsandstein. Source: display board

a really great and well-kept hut for bird watching 👍 . . even binoculars were available. Kudos to NABU!!!

Here you can easily walk to the quarry, the blocking at komoot is not right for hikers

In addition to the geological information, an impressive natural experience
