Description
Morphologie
The caves on the Kittenberg near Canstein formed through partial softening of dolomitized Werra marginal carbonate of the Zechstein. The grain fabric was completely destroyed in the process, so that the rocks disintegrated into "dolomite sand/ash".
Hydrologie
The softening was presumably caused by hydrothermal solutions that migrated along faults.
Autres détails
In earlier times the rocks were used locally as scouring sand. The caves lie in the "NSG Kittenberg".
