Kalkklippen der Gobert, Nature conservation area in Bad Sooden-Allendorf and Meinhard, Germany
The Kalkklippen der Gobert extends over 289 hectares, featuring limestone cliffs, steep slopes, and extensive deciduous forests along the former inner German border.
The protected area includes archaeological traces from 800 BCE, with ancient defensive structures found on the Hohestein mountain peak at 569 meters elevation.
The conservation site comprises two protected zones, Hessische Schweiz and Kalkklippen südlich des Iberges, forming part of the European Natura 2000 network since 1998.
Visitors can access the area through designated hiking paths, including the Rheanuspfad trail and former patrol roads along the protected zones.
Since 1989, large sections of the forest remain untouched by forestry operations, allowing natural development of diverse woodland ecosystems with rare orchid species.
