The Eichelnkopf rises in the Harz Nature Park . Its summit is about 3.5 km east of Herzberg am Harz and 3.5 km north of the Herzberg district of Scharzfeld , 2.5 km southwest of the Großer Knollens ( 687.4 m ) and 0.9 km southwest of the middle corner ( 500.1 m ).
Natural allocation
In the natural spatial main unit group Harz (No. 38), in the main unit Upper Harz (380) and in the subunit Southern Upper Harz (380.8), the border of the natural areas Oderbergland (380.81) and Sieberbergland (380.82) runs over the Eichelnkopf. The landscape falls to the south-west into the natural area Herzberger Vorlandterrassen (376.25) and to the south-south-west into the natural area Scharzfelder Zechsteinhügel (376.27), which is part of the main unit group Weser-Leine-Bergland (37) and its main unit south-western Harz foreland (376) to the subunit Osterode- Herzberger Vorland (376.2) belong.
geology
On the eastern slope of the Eichelnkopf there is an isolated occurrence of dark slate from the Silurian , which is one of the oldest rocks in the entire Harz.
Protected areas and forest cover
Parts of the Harz landscape protection area (district of Göttingen) ( CDDA no. 321403; 2000 designated; 300.112 km² in size) lie on the Eichelnkopf . The mountain is partly overgrown with spruce and partly with beech trees. In 1596 there were predominantly beeches, in 1630 young oaks, birches and beeches.
