The Hoppelberg is a striking, 308 m above sea level. NHN high elevation southeast of the Halberstadt suburb of Langenstein in the Harz district in Saxony-Anhalt .
It is a layered comb made of silicified (quartz-cemented) sandstone from the Lower Cretaceous (" Neokom sandstone").
Geologically, the Hoppelberg lies on the saddle axis of the Quedlinburg saddle and thus forms the north-western border between Blankenburger and Halberstädter Mulde. The mountain is located in the nature reserve of the same name.
Immediately on the summit, next to an old quarry, is the vacant building of an observation post of the former civil defense .
