Höhlengebiet im Kleinen Deister, Nature reserve with limestone caves in Springe, Germany
The protected area spans 109 hectares of northeastern slopes featuring a two-kilometer limestone cliff edge with multiple caves and mixed forest vegetation.
The area received official protection status in December 2018, replacing the former Saupark reserve while maintaining its position within these historic hunting grounds.
The Hallermundskopf section contains remnants of Hallermund Castle, connecting the natural landscape with regional medieval architectural heritage.
The nature reserve provides natural pathways through beech forests and along limestone cliffs, allowing visitors to observe diverse flora and geological formations.
The limestone caves serve as winter quarters for several bat species, including the greater mouse-eared bat and pond bat, in naturally maintained dark conditions.
