The soil here contains 20 times more lead and 2000 times more zinc than normal. This is what the calamine violet needs. The blue variety, "Viola guestphalica," thrives only here and 2 km south along the Wäschebach stream: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/7785420 Its closest relative is the yellow calamine violet, "Viola calaminaria," on the zinc dumps on the left bank of the Rhine, especially Kelmis near Aachen. https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/6994835
