First problem is, that the height of the carousel can not be defined (i will use it afterwards with 100vw pictures instead of
x
....).

Thank you so much, Matthias

All slides have absolute positioning. Therefore carousel height is equal to zero.

However, slides are switched by the z-index, rather than display. Therefore, we can set position: relative; for the first slide of the carousel. Then its height will set the height of the entire carousel.

Check the code for two consecutive carousels:

/* This code works for both carousels. */
.carousel-wrapper {
  position: relative;
}
.carousel-wrapper .carousel-item {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  padding: 0px;
  opacity: 0;
  transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;
}
.carousel-wrapper .carousel-item .arrow {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  display: block;
  width: 100px;
  height: 100%;  /* fix the bug */
  -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;
  background: url("http://www.cssscript.com/demo/pure-html-css-responsive-carousel-cari/arrow.png") 50% 50%/20px no-repeat;
}
.carousel-wrapper .carousel-item .arrow.arrow-prev {
  left: 0;
}
.carousel-wrapper .carousel-item .arrow.arrow-next {
  right: 0;
  -webkit-transform: rotate(180deg);
  transform: rotate(180deg);
}
.carousel-wrapper .carousel-item.light {
  color: white;
}
.carousel-wrapper .carousel-item.light .arrow {
  background: url("../arrow.png") 50% 50%/20px no-repeat;
}
.carousel-wrapper [id^="target-item"] {
  display: none;
}

/* First carousel consists of slides No 1, 2 and 3. */
.carousel-wrapper .item-1 {
  z-index: 2;
  opacity: 1;
}
.carousel-wrapper *:target ~ .item-1 {
  opacity: 0;
}
.carousel-wrapper #target-item-1:target ~ .item-1 {
  opacity: 1;
}
.carousel-wrapper #target-item-2:target ~ .item-2,
.carousel-wrapper #target-item-3:target ~ .item-3 {
  z-index: 3;
  opacity: 1;
}

/* Second carousel consists of slides No 4, 5 and 6. */
.carousel-wrapper .item-4 {
  z-index: 2;
  opacity: 1;
}
.carousel-wrapper *:target ~ .item-4 {
  opacity: 0;
}
.carousel-wrapper #target-item-4:target ~ .item-4 {
  opacity: 1;
}
.carousel-wrapper #target-item-5:target ~ .item-5,
.carousel-wrapper #target-item-6:target ~ .item-6 {
  z-index: 3;
  opacity: 1;
}

/* Add a few lines to make design responsive. */
.carousel-wrapper .carousel-item > img {
  height: auto;
  max-width: 100%;
  width: 100%;
}
@media (max-width: 480px) {
  .carousel-wrapper .carousel-item .arrow,
  .carousel-wrapper .carousel-item.light .arrow {
    background-size: 10px;
    background-position: 10px 50%;
  }
}

/* Fix the height of carousel-wrapper. */
.carousel-wrapper .item-1,
.carousel-wrapper .item-4 {
  position: relative;
}
