Dransfeld Municipal Forest

Dransfeld Municipal Forest

The Dransfeld Municipal Forest (German: Dransfelder Stadtwald) is a ridge in Germany's Central Uplands that is up to 480 m high. It is located in the district of Göttingen, in South Lower Saxony.

Although its name suggests that it is a forest within a town, it is actually a small, heavily forested and fairly high ridge that lies about halfway between the city of Göttingen to the northeast and the town of Hann. Münden to the southwest, east of the Bramwald and immediately south of Dransfeld. A section of the B3 federal highway runs through the western foothills of the Dransfeld Municipal Forest which are in the northern part of the Münden Nature Park. Hills in the Dransfeld Municipal Forest are:

  • Hoher Hagen (originally 508 m) - with its Gauß Tower
  • Brunsberg (480 m)
  • Hengelsberg (463 m) - with the source of the Auschnippe and the nearby "Giesekestein" monument
  • Dransberg (422 m)
  • Schotsberg (419 m)
  • Lohberg (312 m)
