geography
location
The Huy is located in the northern part of the Harz district, about 10 km northwest of Halberstadt between Dardesheim in the west and Schwanebeck in the east, mainly in the area of the community of the same name Huy ; small southern parts are in the urban area of Halberstadt. The places like Badersleben , Anderbeck , Dingelstedt and Eilenstedt (north; to Huy) as well as Sargstedt , Aspenstedt and Athenstedt (south; to Halberstadt) lie around the with the exception of Huy-Neinstedt , Wilhelmshall , Mönchhai and Röderhof (all to Huy) Mountain range, but partly extend to its slopes. The Huy extends in an east-west direction over a length of around 12 km and in a north-south direction over a width of around 3 km. The highest of the elevations in the Huy is the Buchenberg .
To the north and north-west, the terrain slopes down to the Großer Bruch . To the east the Huy merges into the Magdeburger Börde and to the south and southwest the landscape passes over the Harz foreland to the Harz .
Natural allocation
The Huy belongs to the natural spatial main unit group Northern Harz foreland (No. 51), in the main unit Harzrandmulde (510), in the subunit Harzburger Harzvorland (510 1 ) and its sub-area Huy (510 1 .5) to the natural area Huyberg (510 1 .51 ).

Geology and landscape
The Huy consists primarily of red sandstone and shell limestone . Sometimes it is referred to as a narrow saddle , partly as a broad saddle . The Huywald located on the ridge is one of the largest almost pure beech forests in Central Europe.
history
The Huy is mentioned as Hui in an Otton deed in 997 .
The Benedictine monastery Huysburg was founded in the Huy in 1080 , secularized in 1804 and re-established in 1972.
Between 1882 and 1887, several wells were drilled in the Huy around five kilometers from Anderbeck. Large deposits of potash salts and rock salt were found at shallow depths. This led to the founding of the Wilhelmshall zu Anderbeck trade union , which mined salts here until 1926 and triggered an upswing in the Huy region. The Jerxheim – Dedeleben – Nienhagen railway, with a connecting line from Anderbeck to the potash mines built in 1891, was also built to transport the potash salts . The railway line, which was also called the Huybahn , ran along the eastern and northern Huyrand. The last section Dedeleben – Nienhagen was closed in 2001.
A cement works was built near Schwanebeck in 1897 , which used a limestone quarry in the Huy and was also connected to the railway line.
Ice Age glacial pots were discovered during quarrying in 1910 .
Since 1934, the Heeres-Munitionsanstalt Dingelstedt near Halberstadt was located in one of the disused potash shafts in the Huy . In 1944 up to 600 employees and forced laborers worked in the munitions factory . Two explosions on September 21, 1944 left 59 dead. From 1957 to 1961, a restart of potash production was discussed, but ultimately rejected. The underground facilities were cleared by 1962. In 1978 the shafts were flooded.
Protected areas
In the Huy lies the Herrenberg and Vorberg im Huy nature reserve ( CDDA no. 163648; designated 1961; 2.43 km² in size). Almost the entire mountain range with its peripheral locations is designated as the Huy landscape protection area (CDDA no. 163648; 1997; 54.92 km²). The two-part Fauna-Flora-Habitat- Area Huy north of Halberstadt (FFH no. 4031-301; 20.05 km²) is located in large parts of the landscape , which is congruent in area with the bird sanctuary Huy north of Halberstadt (VSG no. 4031-301 ; 20.05 km²).
tourism

In the Huy are the Daneilshöhle , the Huysburg, the Paulskopfwarte and the Sargstedter Warte . Today the Huy is widely used for hiking, cycling and horse riding.
traffic
The Huy is located directly in the "corner" between the federal highway 244 running to the west (between Helmstedt and Wernigerode ) and the federal highway 79 running south (between Wolfenbüttel and Halberstadt ). The Romanesque Road and Deutsche Alleenstraße lead through the ridge or just past it . The Jerxheim – Nienhagen railway used to run north past the Huy through Badersleben , Anderbeck , Dingelstedt and Eilenstedt , from which there was a connection to the Strube railway in Eilenstedt .
