イェルックスハイムの天然記念物・トップ20

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)

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 place, the Heeseberg is very inconspicuous and yet offers many beautiful photo opportunities.

You can take a short break here right on the trail.
