The Kleine Deister lies between the Deister (Großer Deister) in the north and the Nesselberg in the south; Both ridges are defined by the south-west of Jump located Deisterpforte isolated, a flat Talpass with the source of the east to the line flowing Haller . In the southeast, the Kleine Deister is separated from the northern foothills of the Osterwald by the valley of the Alten Gehlenbach .
The old wolf beech once stood on the saddle leading from the Kleiner Deister to the Nesselberg in the south-west and thus between the Wolf's Head in the north-east and the Grasberg in the south-west; this is where the Schwarze Bach rises , a tributary of the Old Gehlenbach. Both mountain ranges lie between the Springer district Altenhagen I in the west, the core town of Springe in the north, Eldagsen in the east and the Coppenbrügger districts Dörpe in the south and Brünnighausen in the southwest.

geology
The Kleine Deister has a hercynically pronounced stroke direction. It forms the northeast wing of a large saddle structure. The layers of earth of the Deister on both sides of the ridge from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods emerge mirror-inverted in the Kleiner Deister.
The south-westerly roofing half of the Kleiner Deister with the Nesselberg is characterized by outcropping sandstones , siltstones and claystones , partly with deposits of hard coal . They are the Upper Church layers (Wealden) of the Lower Cretaceous .
The half roofing to the northeast is characterized by outcropping marl stones, clay stones and limestones. They are the mouths of marl of the Upper Jurassic .
Protected areas
On the Kleiner Deister and the Nesselberg lies the Saupark nature reserve (NSG) ( CDDA no. 30110; designated 1954; 24.448 km² ), in which the Saupark Springe and the bison enclosure Springe spread out. Around both mountain ranges are the nature protection areas of the Northern Osterwald and the surrounding area (CDDA no. 323273; 1972; 18.16 km²), South Deister (CDDA no. 324904; 1967; 33.792 km²) and Osterwald-Saupark (CDDA # 323574; 1972; 16.046 km²).
