ゼールツェの絶景の山頂・トップ4

Old Potash Mountain

A spur of the Gehrdener Berg, the Hochberg, invites you to linger. Spectacular views all around. Hannover, Deister, Brocken. A full program in good weather. A highlight in the Calenberger Land.

More than thirty years ago, work began on covering this waste dump with construction rubble and excavated soil. Since then, a large portion of the site has been planted with trees and shrubs, transforming the former salt mine into a forested mountain with diverse flora and fauna. As part of this large-scale reclamation program, a valley was created on the mountain and prepared to accommodate a wide variety of events. The Empelde Forest Hill – just outside Hanover – has become a charming place where music, theater, literature, landscape conservation, and environmental protection events take place in the open air.

If you have a chance to visit this private hill during a public event, you should definitely do so as you have a very good view from the top.

If you're lucky and someone from the tower guard is there, you can climb the tower on another day if you ask friendly. 🤩

Unfortunately, you can only visit this mountain during an event, so always inform yourself beforehand: https://waldberg-empelde.de/category/veranstaltungen/

On the observation tower you can enjoy the great view and take beautiful pictures. There are two small garden benches to sit on and have something to eat or drink.
