Ösel-Berg, Limestone hill in Denkte, Germany.
The Ösel Berg rises 156 meters above sea level in the Ostbraunschweigisches Hügelland region, featuring grasslands and abandoned quarries along its slopes.
In 1425, Duke Bernhard granted permission to Braunschweig citizens for stone quarrying at Ösel Berg, providing materials for Wolfenbüttel fortress construction.
The Herzog-Julius-Schiff-Graben canal system, connecting Ohrum and Neindorf, represents the historical transportation network used for moving quarried stones.
Visitors can access the hill through agricultural paths starting from a small parking area between Neindorf and Kissenbrück, suitable for hiking and cycling.
The hill contains steeply tilted rock layers from the Triassic period, formed through halokinesis processes visible in numerous former quarry sites.
