Gipskarstlandschaft Hainholz, Nature reserve in Osterode am Harz, Germany.
The Gipskarstlandschaft Hainholz encompasses 640 hectares of land featuring limestone formations, caves, sinkholes, and underground water systems in Lower Saxony.
The initial protection measures for this natural area were implemented in 1967, with subsequent regulations established in 2020 to enhance conservation efforts.
The medieval highland road that crossed through Hainholz indicates the long-standing human presence and historical transportation routes in this region.
Visitors can access detailed maps and information about the nature reserve through the Niedersachsen State Office for Water Management and Nature Conservation.
The Jettenhöhle cave system within the reserve extends for 748 meters, representing one of the most extensive gypsum cave formations in the region.
