geography

location

The Hildesheim Forest is located in the Innerstebergland between the valleys of Leine in the west, Innerste in the north and Lamme in the east. The ridge extends south of Hildesheim , northwest of Bad Salzdetfurth , north of Sibbesse , east of Gronau and southeast of Nordstemmen . Neighboring mountain ranges are in the east that lie beyond the Lamme Sauberge , in the east-northeast, the location beyond the innermost Vorholz the beyond and south Alme and Despe located Foothills .

The ridge consists of a south-westerly main ridge in which the Griesberg (358.9 m) is its highest mountain, as well as the mountain ranges Escherberg ( 257.1  m ) in the north and Tosmar ( 327.5  m ) in the east.

Natural allocation

In the natural spatial main unit group Weser-Leine-Bergland (No. 37), in the main unit Innerstebergland (379) and in the subunit Hildesheimer Bergland (379.0), the ridge forms the Hildesheim Forest (379.01). The landscape leads approximately to the north into the natural area Giesener Berge (379.00), to the northeast into the natural area Marienburger Hügelland (379.03), to the east into the natural area Salzdetfurther Bergland (379.02) and to the south into the subunit Bockenemer Land ( southern Innerstebergland ; 379.1) counting natural area Bodenburg Basin (379.10). To the west it leads into the natural area Barfelder Lößhügel (521.21) and to the northwest into the natural area Rössinger Lößhügel (521.20), both of which are part of the main unit group Lower Saxony Börden (52) and the main unit Calenberger Lößbörde (521) to the subunit Hildesheimer Wald-Vorland ( 521.2) belong.

Flowing waters

In the Hildesheim Forest, for example, these rivers originate and run :

  • Despe (eastern tributary of the Leine )
  • Gehlenbach (western tributary of the Lamme )
  • Kalte Beuster (right and southeastern source stream of the Beuster )
  • Klusbach (western tributary of the Lamme)
  • Warm Beuster (left and northwestern source stream of the Beuster)

These rivers run past the Hildesheim Forest:

geology

The Hildesheim Forest consists mainly of three layer ridges along the entire range of mountains. Its southern ridge is made up of limestone and marl , which until after the Second World War was economically mined in quarries, such as near Almstedt, and processed into lime powder. The middle (with the Griesberg) and the northern ridge are made of red sandstone .

The Hildesheim Forest is a saddle structure created by halokinesis , which is partially sunk in its center (in the red sandstone) and thereby forms a longitudinal valley ( Beustertal ). The connection with the rise in salt underground is also clear from the brine spring in Bad Salzdetfurth .

various

In the northwestern part of the Hildesheim Forest is located Beusterburg whose ringwalls to Neolithic times suggest Liche settlement. In the vicinity of the village of Betheln there is a Bronze Age burial mound, and in the wider area there are some brine springs. At the northwestern end of the wooded ridge is the Heyersum saltworks . There is also the Sibbesse telecommunications tower on the Griesberg and several observation towers . The Hildesheim observation tower is a brick tower with a wooden top on the Sonnenberg, northwest of Diekholzen. In Bad Salzdetfurth stands the Kabus tower on the Welfenhöhe and the Adolf Stoffregen tower on the Emilienhöhe .

Traffic and walking

In addition to the two more distant federal roads 1 in the northwest and 243 in the northeast, several state roads run around the Hildesheim Forest . From Hildesheim in the north, the winding state road 485 leads over the ridge to Diekholzen and Sibbesse in the south. There are numerous forest paths and trails on which to hike the landscape.

The high-speed line Hanover – Würzburg with the Escherberg (3687 m), the Eichenberg (1157 m) and the Eggebergtunnel (332 m) and open sections in between leads through the ridge in a north-northwest-south-southeast direction .
