The Kahlberg near Bodenfelde in the southern Lower Saxony district of Northeim was a mountain in prehistory and has been 224.7 m above sea level for thousands of years . NHN high Witnesses mountain of Weser in the Weser mountain country belonging Solling .
Geographical location
The Kahlberg is located in the Upper Wesertal , which separates the southern edge of the Solling from the northern edge of the North Hessian Reinhardswald . It is located immediately west of the core town of the Lower Saxon community of Bodenfelde , around 1.8 km northeast of its Wahmbeck district and 1.8 km north of the north Hessian Gewissenruh , a district of Wesertal . The Weser flows past its southern foot (distances as the crow flies ) and the lower reaches of its tributary Reiherbach runs slightly to the east of the mountain .
The Kahlbergkuppe rises 119.6 m above the southern bank of the Weser, the height of which is north of Gewissenruh at 105.1 m , and 107.3 m above the valley north of the mountain, which was formerly washed out by the Weser and whose height is west of the Feldhelmsen farm 117.4 m height is numbered.
Natural allocation and landscape protection
The Kahlberg belongs in the natural spatial main unit group Weser-Leine-Bergland (No. 37) and in the main unit Solling, Bramwald and Reinhardswald (370) to the sub-unit Weser breakthrough valley (370.3).
Parts of the Solling landscape protection area are located on the Kahlberg ( CDDA no. 324596; designated in 1999; 330.149 km² in size).
Geology and landscape
In prehistory , the Kahlberg was connected to the Kuhläger Kopf ( 290.5 m ) via a ridge , which rises at the Gewissenruh in the north Hessian Reinhardswald, south of the Weser. At that time, the current flowing to the North Sea ran through the area in which the core town of the Bodenfelde municipality is located today, and then flowed around the Kahlberg as a circular mountain in a semicircle or horseshoe shape in the east, north and west.
Over the millennia, the water of the Weser attacked the ridge between the Kahlberg and Kuhläger Kopf from the east and, after flowing around the Kahlberg, also from the west, until a small opening appeared in the Pleistocene in the last third of the Saale Cold Age , probably around 150,000 years ago. which widened to a breakthrough valley as a result of further erosion . As a result, the Kahlberg, now framed by valleys on all sides, became a witness mountain .
As a result of this breakthrough, the course of the Weser was about 3.5 km shorter (difference in length of the former river loop (meander) to the current course of the river), and thus the current forms a horseshoe-shaped river loop before Bodenfelde or south of the Kahlberg, after which it predominantly west towards Bad Karlshafen.
While the northeast and eastern parts of the valley, which was originally washed out by the Weser am Kahlberg, are now traversed roughly in a north-south direction by the Reiherbach, which flows into the Weser at Bodenfelde , runs through the north and western parts of this valley, in which there are farms , a small brook that flows into the Weser at Wahmbeck from the north.
After another loop of the river, which led around the wooded mountain ridge Wahmbecker Strang with the Hilkenberg ( 183.3 m ) at its southern end after passing the Kahlberg , the Weser flowed northwest of today's Wahmbeck for a few kilometers to the north; it still runs there today.
Traffic and walking
To the east of the Kahlberg, the state road 551 leads from Bodenfelde to Polier . From this road branches off north of Bodenfelde, the district road 447, which runs first north and then west of the mountain to Wahmbeck on the north bank of the Weser. From there a ferry drives over the river, from whose south bank the short K 78 leads to the nearby federal highway 80 ( Bad Karlshafen - Gewissenruh ). In the valley north of the mountain runs in its portion Bad Karl port floor field between the Wahmbecker tunnel direction west-east and bottom field in the Solling web .
The Kahlbergweg leads around the wooded Kahlberg, an approx. 3 km long hiking trail on which you can hike around the mountain and from which several paths and paths branch off to the top of the mountain . From some places on the mountain you can enjoy views towards Bodenfelde as well as to Solling, Reinhardswald and the Kiffing ridge to the southeast .
