Kalkberg, Bad Segeberg
Highlight • Natural Monument
The view in good weather is fantastic.
And it is the only rock mountain in the big circle! The next one should be in the Harz ☺️
By the anhydrite or gypsum mining, from which the mountain actually exists, he lost his former height of about 110m and 9/10 of its mass.

Great Segeberg Lake
Highlight • Lake
After a salt dome with gypsum or anhydrite rock rose to the surface due to salt tectonics, groundwater released after the thawing of the glacial permafrost could gradually dissolve rock salt and gypsum in the subsoil and leach out cavities in the subsoil (subrosion). The overlying rock and sediment layers sagged, leaving depressions that filled with water. In the process, several lake basins were formed, which were initially covered by a contiguous body of water. After a natural lowering of the lake level, possibly due to a sinkhole event at a later time, the original body of water divided into the Großer Segeberger See and the significantly smaller Klüthsee to the northeast.
The Große Segeberger See is part of the gypsum karst landscape of Bad Segeberg and is therefore related to the Kalkberg and its cave

St. Mary's Church (Marienkirche) Bad Segeberg
Highlight • Religious Site
Around 1470, the church was extended eastward with a choir, and a turret with bells was added. After the monastery was dissolved in 1522 and damage during the Thirty Years' War, these parts of the building fell into disrepair and, along with the northern transept, were demolished. As early as 1573, the retable and altar had been moved to the antechamber, where they still stand today.
The remodeling of the church from 1761 to 1764 was particularly profound: The southern transept was demolished, the church received a large lean-to roof over all three naves, and the main entrance was relocated to the center of the southern nave. From 1864 to 1867, Hermann Georg Krüger restored the church's original form as a basilica with a transept. The tower and the entire church received new walls. The church's current exterior appearance is the result of these measures. Extensive renovations were necessary from 1957 to 1959 because the church was in danger of collapsing. Renovation work has been ongoing since 2010.
