geography
location
The Innerstebergland extends in the catchment area of the Innerste from Hildesheim and the southwest of Salzgitter to Goslar and Seesen on the northwestern edge of the Harz Mountains . In the northwest the landscape borders on the Calenberger Loessbörde , in the north on the Braunschweig-Hildesheimer Loessbörde and in the east on the Harz rim hollow - all parts of the Loessbörden on the northern edge of the low mountain range threshold. In the southeast the Harz borders, in the south the southwestern Harz foreland and in the southwest the Alfelder Bergland .
In its center and in the south is the Ambergau , a lowland landscape on the Nette , a tributary of the innermost. The valley with the main towns Sibbesse, Bodenburg and Lamspringe, between the Hildesheim Forest in the northeast and the foothills and the Sackwald in the southwest, is called Flenithigau .
In and on the edge of the Innerstebergland there are these clearly delimited mountain ranges , which are mostly made up of layers and partly on the border to neighboring landscapes (viewed in alphabetical order): Giesener Berge , Hainberg , Harplage , Heber , Hildesheimer Wald , Salzgitter-Höhenzug ( with the Lichtenbergen ), Sauberge and Vorholz . These rivers run between these mountain ranges : Innerste , Lamme , Neile and Nette and their tributaries.
Landscape image
The mountain ranges of the Innerstebergland are mostly covered with deciduous forest , especially beech forests . The flowing waters run in slightly hilly, heavily loess-covered lowlands , to which the basin-like Ambergau belongs. The fertile soils are heavily used for arable farming. The landscape also includes the quarries and opencast mines, which are mostly closed and partly filled with water, in which Keuper sandstone has been mined since the Middle Ages .
