geography
location
The lift is located in the southwest of the Innerstebergland at the transition to the Alfelder Bergland . It stretches from the Heberberg ( 276.6 m ) near Lamspringe at the headwaters of the Lamme in the northwest, including its highest elevation, the Mechtshauser Berg ( 314 m ), after which it bends south to the Klei hill ( 313 m ) near Seesen - Ildehausen in the south; it runs west past the core town of Seesen , which is located west of the Harz on the Schildau . About 11.5 km north-northeast is Bockenem an der Nette and 6.6 km southwest of Bad Gandersheim an der Gande . The lift area belongs to the districts of Hildesheim (north), Goslar (east) and Northeim (west).
The jack is about 10 km long in a north-west-south-east direction; it is around 1 to 2 km wide. Its forest area goes northeast into the Westerhof monastery forest in the Rhüden basin , the highest point of which is the Hohe Dehne ( 317.6 m ); The Lamspring district of Glashütte is located in this natural area . The forest on the ridge is interrupted between the hamlet of Heber and Bilderlahe . 1.3 km southwest of this hamlet is the Heber waterworks and almost 700 m south-southwest of it the Hebersiedlung .
The lift is surrounded by further mountain ranges: Harplage in the north, northwestern foothills of the Harz Mountains in the southeast, Helleberg in the southwest, Sackwald in the west, foothills in the northwest and, a few kilometers away, Hildesheimer Wald in the northwest.
Natural allocation
The lifter belongs to the natural spatial main unit group Weser-Leine-Bergland (No. 37), in the main unit Innerstebergland (379) and in the sub-unit Southern Innerstebergland ( Bockenemer Land ; 379.1) to the natural area Harplage -Heber ( Lamspringer Berge ; 379.11). The landscape leads north into the Rhüden Basin (379.13) and falls to the east into this natural area and to the south-east into the natural area of Seesener Harz foreland (379.14). In the south, the natural area of the Gandersheim Basin (376.05) joins, which belongs to the Rittegau sub-unit (376.0) in the main unit Southwestern Harz foreland (376) . To the southwest and west, the landscape falls into the sub-unit Basin of Altgandersheim (377.5), which belongs to the main unit Alfelder Bergland with Ith and Hils (377) .
Surveys
The elevations in the jack and near the jack include - with a height in meters (m) above mean sea level (NHN):
- Mechtshausen mountain (314 m), highest mountain in the Heber southwest of Mechtshausen
- Klei (313 m), west of Engelade
- Gehrenroder Berg (305.1), northeast of Gehrenrode
- Kronen (301.1 m), east of Gremsheim
- Wausterberg (297.8 m), east of Dannhausen (southern roofing)

Flowing waters
Several brooks rise up and on the siphon , the water of which sooner or later flows into the Innerste, which runs north, or the Leine , which runs west ; the narrow ridge is the watershed between the two rivers. These rivers include:
- Gande , rises in the southeast part of the Sackwald , passes the lift in the southwest, right tributary of the Leine
- Eterna , arises south of the siphon, left tributary of the Gande
- Lamme , rises on the northwestern edge of the siphon in Lamspringe, left tributary of the innermost
- Lutter , rises on the north-eastern edge of the Hebers at the forester's house Rolfshagen, left tributary of the Nette
- Nette , rises in the northwestern Harz , left tributary of the Innerste
- Riehe , rises in the southeast part of the Sackwald, passes the lift in the northwest
- Schlörbach , rises on the northeast edge of the siphon on Gehrenroder Berg, left tributary of the Nette

Nature and protected areas
The lift is wooded with beech forest and spruce afforestation . The Heberberg nature reserve ( CDDA no. 163567; designated in 1989; 15 hectares in size) is located on the north-western spur of the ridge near Heberberg, southeast of Lamspringe . There is also the landscape protection area (LSG) Heberberg (CDDA no. 321458; 1990; 90 ha). North of the Hebers and northwest of Mechtshausen is the LSG Luttertal (CDDA no. 322870; 1967; 32.1 ha). The LSG Wohldenstein is located in the southern part of the Hebers and northwest of Bilderlahe (CDDA no. 325928; 1967; 19.4 ha).
Worth seeing
The head beech near Gremsheim , the largest beech in Germany, is southwest of the siphon . To the east of the ridge, in Mechtshausen, lies the resting place of the poet Wilhelm Busch . To the south-east, above Bilderlahe, stands the Wohlenstein castle ruins on a conical extension of the siphon, from where you can overlook the southern exit of the Ambergau .
A few kilometers west of the siphon, the Lamspringe sculpture trail runs along the old Kreiensen - Hildesheim line for around 12 km between Lamspringe and Bad Gandersheim . Sculptures by international artists are set up along the cycle path, which earned it the name of the sculpture path .
various
The lifter is geologically mainly of limestone composite layer comb . The Heber- Börde , a basin-like landscape with fertile loess soils, extends southwest of the ridge .
The forest glassworks originally belonging to the Lamspringe monastery was founded in the 18th century in the valley of the Schlörbach a little north of the Hebers . After the closure, Johann Friedrich Stender from Ziegenhagen resumed glass production in the Klosterforst in 1792 and founded the Stender glass factory . It gave the village of Glashütte its name and was in operation until 1914. There are 6 wind turbines on the jack.
Traffic and walking
The federal motorway 7 and the federal road 243 (Bockenem-Rhüden-Seesen) which crosses it and which shares a section with the B 248 to the south-east of the ridge lead east past the Heber . Between Engelade and Ildehausen, at the southern outlet of the Hebers, the B 64 branches off from this section, which runs westwards to Bad Gandersheim . From this road branches off at Dannhausen the state road 489, which leads north past Bad Gandersheim and west of the Hebers to Lamspringe. From there, the L 466 runs north of the ridge through Glashütte to Rhüden to the B 243, so that you can bypass the ridge. From some of the above-mentioned streets, circular roads and other spur roads branch off , which lead to or through the villages on both sides of the predominantly northwest-southeast-facing ridge.
The lift is criss-crossed by many forest and hiking trails . The European long-distance hiking trail E1 runs through its southern part from Seesen in the east through Bilderlahe and the hamlet of Heber to Bad Gandersheim in the east .
