The Ravensberg in the Harz is about 659 m above sea level. NHN high mountain near Bad Sachsa in the non-parish Harz region of the Göttingen district in Lower Saxony .
Geographical location
The Ravensberg is located in the southern Harz in the Harz Nature Park . It rises about 3.5 km northwest of Bad Sachsa , about 4.5 km east of Bad Lauterberg and about 4.5 km (as the crow flies ) southwest of Wieda . To the west the mountain passes the Steina ( Steinaer Bach ), which then flows southwest of it through the Steinatalsperre to the Ichte .
The Uffe rises northeast of the summit and passes the mountain a little east in the Ostertal and flows into the Wieda , provided that it does not seep into the gypsum karst. In the Kukanstal (Kuckanstal) and Katzental , streams arise to the southwest and east of the mountain elevations , which shortly after their confluence feed the melt pond located southeast of the mountain in Bad Sachsa and shortly afterwards flow into the Uffe.
The mountain is relatively exposed and can be seen from afar.

Berghof Ravensberg
As early as 1845, some Sachsa residents, especially Mayor Scheidel, persuaded the farmer August Koolhaase to build a restaurant on the Ravensberg summit. In 1848 he built the first wooden refuge with a milk and beer bar.
In 1854 the first stone restaurant followed with a 13 m high observation tower, which afforded a view of the Stöberhai, Wurmberg , Brocken and Kyffhäuser . The restaurant was expanded in 1888 by a wooden upper floor and this was expanded with guest rooms. The Hotel Berghof Ravensberg has been rebuilt several times. In the style of a mountain chalet was dressed in a planking and resembled his porch and the observation tower the neighboring mountain hotel Stöberhai . The Berghof and its tower burned down completely on Christmas Eve 1962.
The family of the owner Fritz Kühn then rebuilt the hotel building that still exists today in a modified form, which was opened on March 11, 1964. A new observation tower was not built.
In September 2009, the Berghof was acquired by the City of Bad Sachsa and is therefore no longer family-owned for the first time.
