Geography and history

The Harburg Hills lie northwest of the Lüneburg Heath in the Lower Saxon district of Landkreis Harburg and in the Hamburg quarters of Eißendorf, Hausbruch, Heimfeld, Marmstorf and Neugraben-Fischbek within the Harburg borough. Thus they are located between the city of Hamburg to the north, Seevetal to the east, the Lüneburg Heath to the southeast, Handeloh, Welle and Otter to the south, Tostedt and Buchholz in der Nordheide to the southwest, Hollenstedt and Beckdorf to the west and Neu Wulmstorf to the northwest. At the centre of this hill country is the municipal district of Rosengarten (which consists of ten separate villages and covers an area of some 64 km² (25 sq. miles)). The geographic centre of the Harburg Hills is the Buchholz motorway (Autobahn) interchange on the A 1. The hills are framed by the Seeve river in the east and the Este river in the west.

The Harburg Hills are end moraines that were formed in the Saalian glaciation and Weichselian Ice Age. They are a popular recreation area.[1]

Terrain

The Harburg Hills form a landscape of hilly forests, heaths and farmland. They contain protected nature reserves: the Fischbeker Heide [de] (Fischbek Heath, 1958), the Schwarze Berge (Black Hills), Buchenwälder im Rosengarten [de] and Landschaftsschutzgebiet Rosengarten–Kiekeberg–Stuvenwald [de] (1965), and Neugrabener Heide, as well as the Wildpark Schwarze Berge [de].

Access

The area is crossed by the A 1 and A 261 Autobahns; junctions Neu Wulmstorf-Rade, Buchholz-Dibbersen (both on the A 1) and Rosengarten-Tötensen (A 261) enabling easy access to the hills. The A 7 runs through the northeastern part of the region; leave at the Marmstorf exit.

[de] Harburger Berge

Die Harburger Berge sind ein maximal etwa 155 m ü. NHN[1] hoher Höhenzug im Landkreis Harburg in Niedersachsen, dessen Ausläufer bis in den Süden Hamburgs reichen. Sie bilden den Nordteil der Schwarzen Berge, deren Südteil die Lohberge sind. Oft wird auf Landkarten mit (Die) Schwarzen Berge nur der Nordteil der Harburger Berge bezeichnet, doch der Naturraum Schwarze Berge ist viel größer. Geomorphologisch sind sie eine in der Saaleeiszeit entstandene Endmoräne. Das bewaldete Gebiet ist beliebtes Naherholungsgebiet und wird innerhalb des Regionalpark Rosengarten als ILE-Region mit einem Integrierten Ländlichen Entwicklungskonzept (ILEK) gefördert.
