According to the natural spatial structure in the Göttingen sheet, the mountain is part of the Reinhausen Forest (No. 373.2) within the Göttingen-Northeimer Forest (No. 373) and is part of the Weser-Leine Bergland (No. 37).
particularities
The completely forested mountain made of shell limestone sits on the surrounding red sandstone landscape as a witness mountain . Immediately to the south is the Kronenberg ( 385 m ), to the east the Sattenhausen basin and to the northwest, separated by a narrow valley, the Göttingen Forest.
Some hiking trails lead across the mountain area to a summit cross with a summit book and to a Köhler hut at its eastern foot. Due to its interesting topology, the sometimes quite demanding trails and the convenient distance from Göttingen , the Hengstberg has developed into a popular destination for Göttingen ultra runners since the beginning of 2014. The so-called Stallion Mountain Challenge is held through entries in the summit book .
