The Hohe Egge between Bad Münder am Deister , Hameln and Hessisch Oldendorf in the Lower Saxony district of Hameln-Pyrmont is a little more than 440 m above sea level. NHN the highest point in the Süntel ridge of the Calenberger Bergland .
The Hohe Egge and the Süntel belong to the geographically most prominent mountains / ridges in northern Germany because of their more than 300 m height . The Süntelturm observation tower with an attached mountain restaurant is on the south knoll, and a former radar tower on the north knoll is the remainder of an earlier US Army base . The mountain is located on the north-northeast slope restaurant Eulenflucht and some below it the Waldgaststätte Bergschmiede .
geography
location
The Hohe Egge is located southeast of the Süntelzentrum in the Weserbergland Schaumburg-Hameln nature park . In the urban areas of Bad Münder am Deister in the north-east, Hameln in the south and Hessisch Oldendorf in the west, it rises between Hamelspringe (north-north-east), Klein Süntel (east-south-east) and Flegessen (south-east) (all to Bad Münder), Welliehausen and Unsen in the south (both to Hameln), Pötzen in the southwest and Haddessen in the west (both to Hessisch Oldendorf).
Natural allocation
The Hohe Egge belongs to the natural spatial main unit group Weser-Leine-Bergland (No. 37), in the main unit Calenberger Bergland (378) and in the subunit Weserberge (378.1) to the natural area Südost-Süntel (378.13). The landscape leads to the north-north-west into the natural area Nordwest-Süntel (378.12) and to the north-west over west to south into the natural area Weser Mountains (378.10).
Mountain tops and heights
The Hohe Egge has two knolls about 900 m apart, north knoll ( ⊙ ) and south knoll ( ⊙ ), which are each a little more than 440 m above sea level. NHN are high. The northern tip is in the Bad Münder area, and the border from Bad Münder to Hessisch Oldendorf runs across the southern tip, while the urban area of Hameln extends to the south-southeast flank of the southern tip. To the south of the radar tower on the north summit, the altitude “435.2” is shown on topographic maps . On the southern summit, near the Süntelturm, there is a survey point , the height of which is given as "437.5". On some maps the altitude “437” can be found in the summit regions of both peaks, to which the often mentioned mountain height of 437 m should refer.
Flowing waters
On the northern flank of the north crest in Hamelspringe lies the source of the Hamel , which flows around the mountain northeast via east to south , on the eastern flank the Große and Kleine Steinbach arise as source streams of the small Hamel tributary Steinbach, and on the western flank is the source of the Haddessener Bach as the left source stream of the Nahrenbach . On the southern flank of the southern crest, the small Nahrenbach tributary Pötzer Bach and the Hamel tributary Herksbach (Feuerbach) arise.
Protected areas
On the northern and eastern areas of the Hohen Egge in the urban area of Bad Münder there are parts of the landscape protection area (LSG) Süntel ( CDDA -Nr. 324964; designated 1968; 28.789 km² ), in the southeast areas in the urban area of Hameln there are those of the same name LSG Süntel (CDDA no. 324965; 1958; 2.95 km²) and on the western areas in the urban area of Hessisch Oldendorf those of the LSG Hessisch Oldendorfer Wesertal / Nord (CDDA no. 321590; 1983; 27.878 km²). On the south-south-west foothills of the Hoher Nacken ( Hohenacken ; approx. 375 m ) in the urban area of Hessisch Oldendorf there is a small part of the bird sanctuary for eagle owl breeding grounds in the Weser Uplands (VSG no. 3720-431; 10.06 km²).
Towers
Süntelturm
On the southern crest of the Hohen Egge, as a successor to the Augusta Tower, which opened in 1882, there is the Süntelturm observation tower (with a mountain restaurant added in 1910), which was inaugurated in 1901 and is 25 m high. From its viewing platform, the view falls over the southern landscape and to sights in the area; in good visibility conditions the view extends to the Brocken in the Harz Mountains .
Radar tower
On the northern tip of the Hohen Egge there is a radar tower as a remnant of a former US Army base that was abandoned in 1991.
Plane crashes
On the Hohen Egge there were three plane crashes in two plane accidents - each in thick fog:
On May 2, 1932, the Fokker airliner D 765 of Deutsche Lufthansa crashed west of the Süntelturm . The engine and cabin were slightly damaged, and the propellers, wings and rudder were completely smashed. Passengers and pilot were slightly injured.
On October 16, 1962, two Republic F-84F Thunderstreak jet fighters crashed on the Hohe Egge in thick fog , killing the two Belgian pilots. In 2001 a memorial with a plaque was erected on the Steinweg between the Falltal and the Süntelturm - right next to the crash site.
Traffic and walking
East-northeast of the Hohen Egge branches off in Bad Münder am Deister from the federal road 442, the district road 72, which leads north-northeast past the mountain of Bad Münder through Hamelspringe to Bakede . Southeast of the mountain from the branch portion Hachmühlen - Hillig field of the Federal Highway 217 by Flegessen by Klein Süntel extending K 71 and the south past the mountain by Unsen and past Welliehausen according Pötzen leading national road 423 from. For example, on the Süntelstraße spur road , which in Bad Münder - initially as part of the K 72 - branches off the B 442 at a height of 106.7 m and to the Bergschmiede forest restaurant (northeast flank; An der Bergschmiede ; slightly below the 220 m contour line ) runs, there is a hiker parking , where the rise past the Berggaststätte Eulenflucht (in the region of the 380-m-level curve) can be used for Northern tip with the transmission tower and are then addressed to Südkuppe with the Süntelturm; The road above the Bergschmiede is closed to public transport. The narrow road is paved throughout, except for the north crest, and is therefore suitable for all types of bicycle . From Bad Münder up to the north summit (approx. 440 m ) about 333 meters of altitude with inclines of up to 16 percent have to be mastered. The European long-distance hiking trails E1 and E11 lead over the mountain, which share a section south of the Südkuppe / Süntelturm to a little over the Schweinberg (approx. 278 m ) near Hameln.
