Editing Thuringian Forest (section)

=== Waltershausen Foothills ===

The Waltershausen foothills (German: ''Waltershäuser Vorberge'') are a wooded chain of [[Buntsandstein]] hills immediately north of and parallel to the Thuringian Forest between Eisenach, Waltershausen, Friedrichroda, and Georgenthal.  An outcrop of [[Muschelkalk]] rock can be found in their northern part, south of Waltershausen. They are generally regarded a part of the [[Thuringian Basin]],<ref>{{cite book | author = Emil Meynen, Josef Schmithüsen | title = Handbuch der naturräumlichen Gliederung Deutschlands | publisher = Bundesanstalt für Landeskunde | location = Remagen and Bad Godesberg | year = 1953–1962}}</ref> but with numerous deeply eroded river valleys and the dense forestation they resemble very much the Thuringian Forest.
