Bocksbühl

Bocksbühl is a mountain summit in the Upper Leinebergland region featuring two distinct peaks. The higher peak rises to 437 meters (1,434 feet) above sea level, with a slightly lower companion peak standing just below.

The rock layers formed through geological processes that created Muschelkalk and Buntsandstein deposits as part of the broader Weser-Leine-Bergland mountain chain. This formation developed over millions of years through natural uplift and erosion.

Local residents maintain several marked hiking paths leading to the summit, preserving traditional outdoor recreation in the Reinhäuser Wald area.

The summit lies roughly 12 kilometers south of Göttingen and can be reached via forest trails from the villages of Ludolfshausen and Groß Schneen. Marked hiking paths connect these access points and wind through woodland areas.

On clear days, visitors can see across multiple landscapes from the peak, including the distant Brocken summit in the Harz mountains far away. This extended view allows hikers to take in several mountain regions at once.
