    Hiking

    It's just terrible how nature is treated here.

    Hiking

    In the pictures it is easy to see how the earth layers are first removed terraced to reach the gypsum-carrying layers.

    Hiking

    Entering the route or the area is expressly prohibited. Signs also indicate this.
    Since you walk very close to the edge of the quarry, there is a risk of falling.
    Was just curious and wanted to catch a glimpse of the break.
    Especially since the actual hiking trail (narrow path) to the left of the forest is not signposted at all and is hardly noticeable when grasses are overgrown, although one quickly thinks that the hiking trail leads along the quarry! The Harz Hiking Association should rework here quickly!
