Falkenberg, Mountain summit in Celle district, Germany

Rising 150 meters above sea level, Falkenberg stands as the second highest point in Lüneburg Heath, offering views toward Hanover on clear days.

Professor Carl Friedrich Gauss used Falkenberg as a triangulation point during his 1820 survey of the Kingdom of Hanover commissioned by King George IV.

The natural surroundings of Falkenberg reflect traditional heath farming practices, where Heidschnucke sheep maintain the characteristic open landscape.

Located within the NATO Bergen-Hohne Training Area near Becklingen village, access to Falkenberg requires coordination with military facility regulations.
