Hessische Klippen, Natural sandstone cliffs in Landkreis Kassel, Germany.

The Hessische Klippen rise steeply from the Weser Valley, forming a series of rock formations that extend along the river's western bank.

The cliffs have served as navigational markers for vessels traveling along the Weser River since the early days of regional maritime trade.

The sandstone formations near Bad Karlshafen attract geologists and nature researchers who study the regional rock formations and ecological systems.

Visitors can access the cliffs through multiple marked hiking trails starting from Bad Karlshafen, with parking areas available at the Brüggefelder Street.

The steep rock faces reach heights of up to 75 meters and contain distinct layers of Weser sandstone formed over 250 million years ago.
