The former gypsum quarries have a certain charm with their steep and deeply sloping edges. The silent and deep lakes are marvellous especially in clear weather as deep, dark green shimmering water-filled craters. The area was once used for gypsum mining. The interesting “Boden-Geo-Pfad” geoscientific educational trail provides information on the different soils and rocks. Interested visitors can now experience the art of sculpting on a taster course at Sperenberg railway station on the former Royal Prussian Military railway line. The trail continues onto Lake Großer Gadsdorfer See lying at the foot of the Höllenberg hill, surrounded by picturesque fields and woodland.
