On nearly 200 km in length, the South Harz Karst Hiking Trail leads from Pölsfeld near Sangerhausen to Bad Grund through an area rich in gypsum rock.

Over the course of millennia, the gypsum karst landscape of the South Harz has created a region whose geological wealth and biological diversity represent a unique natural area in Europe. The gypsum-rich area extends across the districts of Osterode am Harz (Lower Saxony), Nordhausen (Thuringia), and Mansfeld-Südharz (Saxony-Anhalt). Along the axis from Pölsfeld to Bad Grund, this impressive region can be particularly experienced on the South Harz Karst Hiking Trail.
